            Plaintiff-Appellee,
  v                                                                 SC: 146610

  SCOTT DENIS CRONIN,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 6, 2012
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
  persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. Although we
  deny leave to appeal, we note that in People v Bush, 187 Mich App 316, 329 (1991),
  aff’d in part and rev’d in part on other grounds sub nom People v Harding, 443 Mich 693
  (1993), the Court of Appeals erroneously stated that the failure to move for a new trial in
  the trial court precludes appellate review of a “great weight of the evidence” argument.
  To the contrary, review of an unpreserved “great weight” issue is reviewable on appeal,
  subject to the “plain error” standard of review. See People v Cameron, 291 Mich App
  599, 616-617 (2011).

                           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.
