  JAMES MICHAEL BATEMAN,

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 4, 2006 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
  that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.




                           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.
                           August 29, 2006                     _________________________________________
