  ____________________________________/

         By order of October 2, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the April 12, 2018
  judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
  Ames (Docket No. 156077). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been denied in
  Ames on June 26, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019), the application is again considered, and it
  is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question 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.
