  v
  INTERNATIONAL MILL SERVICE, INC. 

             Defendant/Cross- 

             Defendant-Appellee. 

  _________________________________________/

         On January 11, 2006, the Court heard oral argument on the application for leave to
  appeal the December 7, 2004 judgment of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court,
  the motion to disqualify is DENIED. The application for leave to appeal is again
  considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented
  should be reviewed by this Court.

         CORRIGAN, J., would peremptorily reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals
  and reinstate summary disposition in favor of appellants, for the reasons stated in Court
  of Appeals Judge Kelly’s concurrence and dissent.
                                                                                                               2


       WEAVER, J., states as follows:

       I do not participate in deciding plaintiff’s motion to disqualify Chief Justice Taylor
and Justices Corrigan, Young, and Markman. This Court should publish proposals for
public comment, place the issue on a public hearing for administrative matters, resolve,
and make clear for all to know the proper procedures for handling motions for the recusal
of Supreme Court justices from participation in a case. See Scalise v Boy Scouts of
America, 473 Mich 853 (2005). This Court opened an administrative file on the question
on May 20, 2003, but has yet to address the matter. See ADM 2003-26.

       The question regarding the participation or nonparticipation of justices frequently
recurs and is a matter of public significance because even one justice’s decision to
participate or not participate may affect the decision and outcome in a case. See
Advocacy Org for Patients & Providers v Auto Club Ins Ass’n, 472 Mich 91, 96-104
(2005) (Weaver, J., concurring).

       KELLY, J., states as follows:

       I do not participate in the decision to deny the motion to disqualify. I agree with
Justice Weaver in urging the Court to establish a particularized procedure to handle
motions to disqualify a Supreme Court justice from participation in a case.




                         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.
