_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED. The
application for leave to appeal prior to decision by the Court of Appeals is considered, and
it is DENIED, because the Court is not persuaded that the questions presented, to the extent
that the appellants have appellate standing to raise them, should be reviewed by this Court
before consideration by the Court of Appeals. The motion to intervene is DENIED. We
DIRECT the Court of Appeals to issue an abbreviated briefing schedule to the parties and
to issue a decision no later than Monday, January 27, 2020. Any appeal from that decision
must be filed in this Court by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 3, 2020.
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.
