  ____________________________________/


         On order of the Court, the motion to add issues is GRANTED. The application for
  leave to appeal the March 20, 2012 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. The motions to remand and for appointment of counsel are
  DENIED.




                            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.
