McCormack David F. Viviano, PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Justices Plaintiff-Appellee, v SC: 147022 COA: 314613 Wayne CC: 09-011889-01-FC MORRIS LEE HOUSTON, Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/ On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.

The application for leave to appeal the February 28, 2013 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. The application is denied without prejudice to the defendant asserting his ineffective assistance of counsel claims in a motion for relief from judgment under MCR 6.508(D).

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.
