v SC: 158223 COA: 343652 Barry CC: 2017-000914-FH RONALD PAUL DOWNS, Defendant-Appellant. _____________________________________/

By order of April 2, 2019, the application for leave to appeal the June 19, 2018 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v Dixon-Bey (Docket No. 156746). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been denied in Dixon- Bey on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019), the application is again considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question 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 26, 2019 b1118 Clerk
