  _________________________________________/

         By order of May 23, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the May 9, 2017
  order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
  Ames (Docket No. 156077). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been denied in
  Ames on June 26, 2019, 504 Mich 899 (2019), the application is again considered, and it
  is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be
  reviewed by this Court.




                          I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
