  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 20, 2014
  judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-
  appellant are considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to
  appeal, we VACATE that part of the Court of Appeals February 20, 2014 opinion setting
  forth a hypothetical scenario in which defendant Hi-Tech Protection and its employees
  were not in the business of providing security, because the panel’s conclusion in that
  regard is contrary to law. See Upjohn Co v New Hampshire Ins Co, 438 Mich 197, 214
  (1991) (“The knowledge possessed by a corporation about a particular thing is the sum
  total of all the knowledge which its officers and agents, who are authorized and charged
  with the doing of the particular thing acquire, while acting under and within the scope of
  their authority.”) (emphasis added; internal quotations omitted). In all other respects,
  leave to appeal and leave to appeal as cross-appellant are DENIED, because we are not
  persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.



                           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.
