  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 16, 2019
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED, limited to the
  issues: (1) whether assault and battery is a necessarily included offense of assault with
  intent to commit murder; and if so (2) whether a rational view of the evidence in this case
  could support a conviction for assault and battery. The time allowed for oral argument
  shall be 20 minutes for each side. MCR 7.314(B)(1).

         The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan and the Criminal Defense
  Attorneys of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups
  interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court
  for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.




                           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.
