  GAVIN KEITH CULLENS,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 4, 2011 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.

         MARILYN KELLY, J., would reverse the May 4, 2011 order of the Court of Appeals
  that denied the defendant’s motion for leave to file pro se reply brief.




                           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.
                           October 5, 2011                     _________________________________________
