Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan July 30, 2013 Robert P. Young, Jr., Chief Justice 145544 Michael F. Cavanagh Stephen J. Markman Mary Beth Kelly Brian K. Zahra Bridget M. McCormack PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, David F. Viviano, Plaintiff-Appellee, Justices

v SC: 145544 COA: 302398 Wayne CC: 10-005106-FC ROBERT MCCOWAN, Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/ By order of December 5, 2012, the application for leave to appeal the May 29, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v Williams (Docket No. 144762). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been denied in Williams, 493 Mich 965 (2013), 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.
