JAMES LAWSON,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
By order of April 28, 2009, the application for leave to appeal the November 26,
2008 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in People
v Idziak (Docket No. 137301) and People v Jackson (Docket No. 135888). On order of
the Court, the cases having been decided on July 31, 2009, 484 Mich 549 (2009), and
July 10, 2009, 483 Mich 271 (2009), the application is again considered, and it is
DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed
by this Court.
KELLY, C.J., would grant leave to appeal for the reasons set forth in her opinion in
People v Idziak, 484 Mich 549 (2009).
CAVANAGH, J., would grant leave to appeal to reconsider People v Idziak, 484
Mich 549 (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.
