  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 19, 2017
  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.

         We further note that the briefs filed by the parties and the amicus discuss three
  sentences that were included in the Court of Appeals September 19, 2017 slip opinion but
  are not included in the advance sheets version of the opinion, which was released after
  the parties and amicus filed their briefs in this Court. The slip opinion stated: “As Rhea’s
  husband, Robert was an individual entitled to priority consideration. However, Robert
  was not entitled to consideration unless the probate court considered an independent
  fiduciary and found him or her unsuitable. Lyneis, as trustee and independent fiduciary,
  had statutory priority over Robert, despite Robert’s marriage to Rhea.
  MCL 700.5409(1).” These sentences are omitted from the advance sheets version of the
  Court of Appeals opinion, and are therefore not part of that court’s final published
  opinion.



                           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.
