  TIMOTHY ALAN GREENWALD,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 25, 2011
  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.

           MARILYN KELLY, J. (dissenting).

        I would order the trial court to conduct a hearing to assess defendant’s ability to
  pay the fines and fees imposed on him under MCL 771.3, MCL 769.1k, and MCL
  600.4803(1). Defendant is entitled to such a hearing under People v Music1 and People v
  Jackson.2 Ordering the hearing would secure defendant’s ability to present a manifest-
  hardship defense under MCL 771.3(6)(b) to the enforcement of the costs and fines.

      People v Music, 428 Mich 356, 362 (1987).
  2
      People v Jackson, 483 Mich 271, 292-293 (2009).

                            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.
