       On order of the Court, the motions for immediate consideration and to waive the
transcript requirement are GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the
September 5, 2012 order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED,
because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should now be reviewed by
this Court. The motion for stay is DENIED as moot.




                        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.
