  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to amend the application is GRANTED. The
  application for leave to appeal the August 13, 2012 order of the Court of Appeals is
  considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented
  should be reviewed by this Court.




                          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.
