  EARL CANTRELL CARRUTHERS,
           Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 29, 2016 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
  that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court. The defendant’s motion to
  add issues is DENIED; however, this denial is without prejudice to the defendant filing a
  motion in the circuit court, on remand as ordered by the Court of Appeals, to raise these
  new issues.




                           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.
