_________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, a stipulation signed by counsel for the parties agreeing to
the dismissal of the application for leave to appeal the July 21, 2011 judgment of the
Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-appellant filed by the
Michigan Consolidated Gas Company is considered. The application for leave to appeal
and the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company’s application for leave to appeal as cross-
appellant are DISMISSED with prejudice and without costs. The motions for leave to
file briefs amicus curiae are DENIED as moot. The application for leave to appeal as
cross-appellant filed by the Attorney General is considered, and it is DENIED, because
we are not persuaded that the question 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.
