  ABSOLEM STEVEN-JAMAR THOMAS,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 30, 2006
  order 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. The motion for
  immediate consideration is DENIED as moot.

        CAVANAGH, J., would grant leave to appeal.

        KELLY, J., would grant leave to appeal for the reasons set forth in her dissenting
  statement in People v Houlihan, 480 Mich 1165 (2008).




                          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.
