  _________________________________________/

         By order of May 31, 2017, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the
  application for leave to appeal the September 13, 2016 judgment of the Court of Appeals.
  On order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for leave to
  appeal is again considered and, it appearing to this Court that the case of People v
  Chatman (Docket No. 155184) is pending on appeal before this Court and that the
  decision in that case may resolve an issue raised in the present application for leave to
  appeal, we ORDER that the application be held in ABEYANCE pending the decision in
  that case.




                           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.
