  STATE OF MICHIGAN,
             Defendant-Appellee.
  _____________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the motion to accept the application for leave to appeal is
  DENIED. See MCR 7.316(B) (“The Court will not accept for filing a motion to file a late
  application for leave to appeal under MCR 7.305(C)[.]”). Further, because late
  applications will not be accepted absent circumstances not present in this case, the
  plaintiff’s late application for leave to appeal is DISMISSED. MCR 7.305(C)(5).

        VIVIANO, J., would accept the application as timely filed.




                           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.
