  _________________________________________/

         By order of April 30, 2019, the application for leave to appeal the April 23, 2018
  judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in People v
  Beck (Docket No. 152934) and People v Dixon-Bey (Docket No. 156746). On order of
  the Court, Beck having been decided on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019), and leave to
  appeal having been denied in Dixon-Bey on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (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.
