  _________________________________________/

          By order of the Chief Justice, the defendants-appellees, having failed to file a brief
  on appeal in contravention of the order granting leave to appeal and MCR 7.309(B)(2) for
  the stated reason that counsel, who appeared on their behalf in the Court of Appeals, was
  not compensated to represent them in this Court, forfeit the right to oral argument when
  the case is heard at the April 2015 session of the Court. MCR 7.309(B)(3). In light of
  that forfeiture, the time allotted to plaintiff-appellant for oral argument shall be limited to
  fifteen minutes. MCR 7.315(B).




                            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.
