JAMES THEODORE PYLE,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
By order of September 21, 2016, the application for leave to appeal the August 27,
2015 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in People
v Steanhouse (Docket No. 152849) and People v Masroor (Docket Nos. 152946-8). On
order of the Court, the cases having been decided on July 24, 2017, 500 Mich 453 (2017),
the application is again considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that
the question presented should be reviewed by this Court. The motion to appoint counsel
is DENIED.
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.
