  WILLIAM ALFRED GARDNER, IV,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of May 1, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the July 17, 2017
  order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
  Cameron (Docket No. 155849). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been
  denied in Cameron on July 10, 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.
