  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 11, 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 McCuller (Docket No.
  128161).




                          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.
