  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for leave to file brief amicus curiae and the
  motion to intervene are GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the January 26,
  2010 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are
  not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

        CORRIGAN, YOUNG, and MARKMAN, JJ., would grant leave to appeal.




                            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.
