_________________________________________/

By order of April 23, 2015, the application for leave to appeal the August 7, 2014
judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in Ronnisch
Construction Group, Inc v Lofts on the Nine, LLC (Docket No. 150029). On order of the
Court, the case having been decided on July 26, 2016, 499 Mich 544 (2016), the
application is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting
leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration of the
reasonableness of the attorney fees awarded by the circuit court, in light of C D Barnes
Associates, Inc v Star Heaven, LLC, 300 Mich App 389 (2013).

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.
