  KEANTE MARTEZ KIYA,
           Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED and
  the request for appellate bond is DENIED as moot. The application for leave to appeal
  the April 23, 2019 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED,
  because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this
  Court.

        MARKMAN, J. (dissenting).

        For the reasons set forth by the Court of Appeals dissent, I would reverse the
  judgment of the Court of Appeals and reinstate defendant’s conviction and sentence.

                          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.
