  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for leave to file brief amicus curiae and the
  motion to file a response are GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the October
  16, 2008 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.

        HATHAWAY, J., would grant leave to appeal.




                            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.
