and
TERRY LEE ELLISON,
          Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/

      On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
The application for leave to appeal the December 1, 2010 order of the Court of Appeals is
considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented
should now be reviewed by this Court. The motion for stay is DENIED.

       YOUNG, J. (concurring).

       I concur in the order denying leave. This case comes to us on an interlocutory
appeal, and the defendants have not shown that their rights will be irreparably damaged
by the failure of this Court to intervene at this time.

        The defendants claim that, contrary to Tomecek v Bavas, 482 Mich 484 (2008), the
plaintiffs are attempting to effect a change in substantive property rights through
proceedings under the Land Division Act (LDA), MCL 560.101 et seq. However, the
record below is simply not sufficiently developed to determine the merits of defendants’
claim, especially since no final order has affected defendants’ substantive property rights.
Furthermore, the defendants may appeal by right any final order or judgment that
purports to alter their substantive property rights. Accordingly, there is no need for this
Court to intervene at this time.




                         I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
                         December 10, 2010                   _________________________________________
