ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 24, 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. MCR 7.305(H)(1). The Court of Appeals held that regardless of any error for failure to comply with the notice requirement of MCL 768.27b(2), reversal is unwarranted because the admission of the other-acts evidence did not affect the outcome of trial. In light of this holding, we VACATE that part of the Court of Appeals opinion concluding that the prosecution had good cause for its failure to strictly comply with the notice requirement of MCL 768.27b(2). In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
