Plaintiff-Appellant, Justices v SC: 148575

COA: 307741 Wayne CC: 11-006082-FH ROSA SHARIE WATSON,

Defendant-Appellee. ____________________________________/

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 12, 2013 judgment 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.

MARKMAN, J. I would reverse the Court of Appeals’ reversal of defendant’s jury- trial convictions for first-degree arson of a dwelling, MCL 750.72, and fourth-degree arson of insured property, MCL 750.75, for the reasons set forth by the dissenting judge in the Court of Appeals. See People v Watson, unpublished opinion per curiam of the Court of Appeals, issued December 12, 2013 (Docket No. 307741) (O’CONNELL, J., dissenting).

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.
