  _________________________________________/

        By order of December 4, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the October 26,
  2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  People v Ames (Docket No. 156077). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been
  denied in Ames on June 26, 2019, 504 Mich 899 (2019), the application is again
  considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions 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.
