  ROBERT MCCOWAN,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

        By order of December 5, 2012, the application for leave to appeal the May 29,
  2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  People v Williams (Docket No. 144762). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having
  been denied in Williams, 493 Mich 965 (2013), 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.
