_________________________________________/ By order of July 3, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the July 13, 2017 judgment 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. The motions to remand are DENIED.

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.
