  MICHIGAN NATIONAL BANK and
  MICHIGAN NATIONAL CORPORATION,
           Defendants-Appellants.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 8, 2005
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties are
  directed to include among the issues to be briefed: (1) whether the insertion of personal
  loan numbers on the face of embezzled checks made payable to the order of Michigan
  National Bank was an “alteration” of the checks as that term is utilized in MCL 440.4406
  and MCL 440.3407 and (2) if the checks did not contain an “alteration,” whether they
  were therefore properly payable under MCL 440.4401(1).




                           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.
                           December 28, 2005                   _________________________________________
