        On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the January 15, 2013 order of the Court of Appeals is
  considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question presented
  should be reviewed by this Court. The motion for appointment of counsel 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.
