  EDWARD LEE BELL,

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 14, 2004
  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. Though we
  conclude in this case that the reinstruction of the jury in counsel’s presence cured the
  prejudice presumed to result from substantive communications with the jury in counsel’s
  absence, People v France, 436 Mich 138, 143 (1990), the trial judge is reminded to
  adhere to MCR 6.414(A) in the future.

                           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 19, 2005                    _________________________________________
