         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 10, 2012
  judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-
  appellant are considered, and they are DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the
  questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
