  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 16, 2005
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
  persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

        KELLY, J., would hold this case in abeyance for People v Drohan, lv gtd 472 Mich
  881 (2005).
