  MATTHEW ALLEN MILBOURN,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 18, 2014
  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 the
  Court of Appeals erred in determining that the law enforcement officer’s testimony
  regarding the complainant’s prior consistent statement was properly admitted because it
  was not hearsay, the erroneous admission of this testimony does not warrant relief in this
  case because it did not affect the defendant’s substantial rights, as required by People v
  Carines, 460 Mich. 750, 774 (1999).

                           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.
