Stephen J. Markman PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Brian K. Zahra Plaintiff-Appellee, Richard H. Bernstein Elizabeth T. Clement v SC: 156022 Megan K. Cavanagh, Justices COA: 337436 Oakland CC: 2015-255954-FH; WALTER ANDREW WALAS, 2015-255955-FH Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/

By order of May 23, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the May 9, 2017 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v Ames (Docket No. 156077). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been denied in Ames on June 26, 2019, 504 Mich 899 (2019), 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. November 20, 2019 a1113 Clerk
