  _________________________________________/

         By order of December 16, 2010, the application for leave to appeal the July 22,
  2010 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  People v Dowdy (Docket No. 140603). On order of the Court, the case having been
  decided on July 11, 2011, 489 Mich 373 (2011), the application is again considered and,
  pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the
  judgment of the Court of Appeals and REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for
  reconsideration in light of Dowdy.

        CAVANAGH, J., would grant leave to appeal.

       MARILYN KELLY, J., would grant leave to appeal to reconsider People v Dowdy,
  489 Mich 373 (2011).

                           I, Corbin R. Davis, 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 24, 2011                    _________________________________________
