  _________________________________________/

         By order of March 7, 2017, the application for leave to appeal the August 11, 2016
  judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
  Horton (Docket No. 150815). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on
  July 25, 2017, 500 Mich 1034 (2017), the application is again considered, and it is
  DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question 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.
