  HCC Public Risk Claims Services, Inc., and the Insurance Institute of Michigan for leave
  to file a brief amicus curiae following oral argument is considered together with the
  response thereto by plaintiff-appellant and the motion is DENIED, for the reason that the
  proposed brief presents argument on an issue not preserved for appellate review.
