  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to strike is DENIED. The application for leave
  to appeal the September 3, 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.




                           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.
