  JUSTIN LEE THOMAS,
             Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of September 21, 2016, the application for leave to appeal the December
  30, 2015 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in
  People v Steanhouse (Docket No. 152849) and People v Masroor (Docket Nos.
  152946-8). On order of the Court, the cases having been decided on July 24, 2017, 500
  Mich 453 (2017), 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.
