  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 2, 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.
