  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 13, 2011
  judgment 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.

                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
