v SC: 160029 COA: 339556 Macomb CC: 2016-000578-FC KYLE JONES, Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 6, 2019 judgment 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. This order is without prejudice to the defendant’s ability to seek relief from judgment pursuant to MCR 6.500 et seq. based on any claim relating to the trial court’s prohibition of crossexamination of the victim, and any examination of the defendant’s stepson, regarding the children’s alleged prior sexual conduct. The Court of Appeals deemed this issue to be waived; therefore, it should not be considered to have been “decided against the defendant” under the meaning of MCR 6.508(D)(2).

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.
