  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the October 8, 2012 orders of the Court of Appeals is
  considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REMAND these cases to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on leave granted. We
  DIRECT the Court of Appeals to expedite its consideration of these cases.

         The motion for stay is GRANTED. Trial court proceedings are stayed pending the
  completion of this appeal. On motion of a party or on its own motion, the Court of
  Appeals may modify, set aside, or place conditions on the stay if it appears that the
  appeal is not being vigorously prosecuted or if other appropriate grounds appear.




                           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.
