  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to file a response brief is GRANTED. The
  application for leave to appeal the January 23, 2014 judgment of the Court of Appeals
  and the application for leave to appeal as cross-appellant are considered, and they are
  DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed
  by this Court. The motion for sanctions is DENIED.




                          I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
