_________________________________________/

By order of March 5, 2012, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the application for leave to appeal the August 18, 2011 order of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for leave to appeal is again 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. June 6, 2012 _________________________________________ p0530 Clerk
