_________________________________________/
By order of May 21, 2014, the application for leave to appeal the August 16, 2012
judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-
appellants were held in abeyance pending the decision in AFT Michigan, et al v State of
Michigan (Docket No. 148748). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on
April 8, 2015, 497 Mich ___ (2015), the applications are again considered. Pursuant to
MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the
Court of Appeals and we REMAND these cases to the Court of Appeals for
reconsideration in light of the enactment of 2012 PA 300 and this Court’s decision in
AFT Michigan, et al v State of Michigan. On remand, the Court of Appeals shall
consider what issues presented in these cases have been superseded by the enactment of
2012 PA 300 and this Court’s decision upholding that Act, and it shall only address any
outstanding issues the parties may raise regarding 2010 PA 75 that were not superseded
or otherwise rendered moot by that enactment and decision.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
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.
