  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the motions for immediate consideration and to expedite are
  GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal prior to decision by the Court of
  Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because the Court is not persuaded that the
  questions presented should be reviewed by this Court before consideration by the Court
  of Appeals. However, we ORDER the Court of Appeals to expedite its consideration of
  this case.




                            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.
