  WILLIAM MATTHEW WORKMAN,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to amend application is GRANTED. The
  application for leave to appeal the March 5, 2020 judgment of the Court of Appeals is
  considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  VACATE Part VI of the judgment of the Court of Appeals. The defendant preserved his
  objection to the admission of unauthenticated business records. Although the Court of
  Appeals cited the standard for preserved evidentiary error, see People v Lukity, 460 Mich
  484, 495-496 (1999), it appeared to apply the plain error standard governing unpreserved
  claims, see People v Carines, 460 Mich 750, 764 (1999). We REMAND this case to the
  Court of Appeals for reconsideration of this issue under the Lukity standard. In all other
  respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining
  questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

                           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.
