  _________________________________________/

         On October 6, 2016, the Court heard oral argument on the application for leave to
  appeal the February 19, 2015 judgment of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court,
  the application is again considered. MCR 7.305(H)(1). In lieu of granting leave to
  appeal, it appearing to this Court that the case of Covenant Medical Center, Inc v State
  Farm Mutual Auto Ins Co (Docket No. 152758) is pending on appeal before this Court
  and that the decision in that case may resolve an issue raised in the present application for
  leave to appeal, we ORDER that the application be held in ABEYANCE pending the
  decision in that case.




                           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.
