  UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN REGENTS,
           Defendant-Appellee.

  ________________________________________

         By order of April 23, 2012, the application for leave to appeal the October 20,
  2011 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  McCahan v Brennan (Docket No. 142765). On order of the Court, the case having been
  decided on August 20, 2012, 492 Mich 730 (2012), the application is again considered,
  and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be
  reviewed by this Court.

        CAVANAGH, MARILYN KELLY, and HATHAWAY, 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.
