  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the February 14, 2017 order of the Court of Appeals is
  considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  ORDER that trial court proceedings are stayed pending the completion of this appeal by
  the Court of Appeals. 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.

        We do not retain jurisdiction.




                           I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
