v SC: 148629 COA: 318449 Marquette CC: 13-051101-FH DAMIEN KRISTOPHER RACINE, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/

By order of July 29, 2014, the application for leave to appeal the December 16, 2013 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v Lockridge (Docket No. 149073). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on July 29, 2015, 498 Mich 358 (2015), 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. October 28, 2015 a1019 Clerk
