  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 3, 2012 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
  that the question presented should now be reviewed by this Court. The motion to stay is
  DENIED.




                            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.
