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 _________________________________________ t0928 Clerk
