  GEORGE WASHINGTON,

  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 23, 2016
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
  persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court.

          VIVIANO, J., did not participate due to a familial relationship with the presiding
  circuit court judge in this 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.
