  _________________________________________/

         By order of June 7, 2017, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the
  application for leave to appeal the September 13, 2016 order 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 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.
