    MARC CURTIS MINTER,
    Defendant-Appellant.
    _________________________________________/
    On order of the Court, the motions for immediate consideration and to waive
    transcript requirement are GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the February
    6, 2019 order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because, while
    the assistance of a forensic pathologist may be a required component of the defense in
    this case, see People v Kennedy, 
    502 Mich 206
     (2018), Ake v Oklahoma, 
    470 US 68
    (1985), the unavailability of the properly noticed forensic pathologist, Dr. Karl Williams,
    is only speculative at this point. The motion to stay 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.
