  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, leave to appeal was granted, 480 Mich 987 (2007), and this
  case was placed on the April 2008 session calendar for argument and submission. It now
  appears to this Court that the case of Melendez-Diaz v Massachusetts, __ US __; 76
  USLW 3496; 2008 US LEXIS 2537 (March 17, 2008), is pending before the United
  States Supreme Court and that the decision in that case may resolve an issue raised in the
  present case. We ORDER that this case be held in ABEYANCE pending the decision in
  that case.




                           I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
