  In re BRATCHER, Minors.                                            COA: 295727                                          Justices

                                                                     09-044959-NA

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motions for leave to file briefs amicus curiae are
  GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the July 29, 2010 judgment of the Court
  of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the
  question presented should be reviewed by this Court. We do not resolve the issue raised
  by respondent mother and the amici concerning whether the assumption of jurisdiction
  over a child based on the admissions of one parent could ever violate the due process
  rights of another parent who objects to jurisdiction. In this case, respondent mother’s
  own admissions to the petitions provided sufficient grounds for jurisdiction over the
  children.




                            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.
