  _________________________________________/

         By order of December 29, 2004, the application for leave to appeal was held in
  abeyance pending the decision in People v Hendrick (Docket No. 126371). On order of
  the Court, the opinion having been issued on June 14, 2005, 472 Mich 555 (2005), the
  application is again considered. The Court finds that the issue raised is now moot.
  Hence, the application is DENIED.




                      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.
