  STEVEN SCOTT MIHALIC,

  _____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 30, 2015 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered. With regard to the defendant’s challenge to costs,
  leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question presented
  should be reviewed by this Court prior to the completion of the proceedings ordered by
  the Court of Appeals. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are
  not persuaded that the remaining 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.
