Mackinac CC Family Division:

_______________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 7, 2016
judgment and May 23, 2016 order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to
MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE in part the judgment
of the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals erred by reading this Court’s October 28,
2015 remand order as “calling for a decision on the merits regardless of any such
procedural concerns.” We further REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals to
reconsider Mackinac County’s motion to intervene. If the Court of Appeals grants the
motion to intervene, it shall then permit the filing of Mackinac County’s motion for
reconsideration. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the questions presented should now be reviewed by this Court.
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.
