  ___________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to consolidate is DENIED. The application for
  leave to appeal the August 30, 2016 judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application
  for leave to appeal as cross-appellant are considered. It appearing to this Court that the
  case of Bazzi v Sentinel Insurance Company (Docket No. 154442) is pending on appeal
  before this Court and that the decision in that case may resolve an issue raised in the
  present applications for leave to appeal, we ORDER that the applications be held in
  ABEYANCE pending the decision in that case.

        The motion to strike remains pending.




                           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.
