In re R.G. BRINKER IV, Minor. COA: 302305 Justices
Crawford CC Family Division
LC No. 09-003712-NA
_______________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 20, 2011
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in
lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Crawford Circuit Court for
the ministerial task of correcting the February 18, 2009 Order of Adjudication (a copy of
which was not included in the circuit court file) to reflect that the circuit court assumed
jurisdiction over the minor child based solely on the admissions of the respondent-
mother. According to the transcript of the pretrial hearing on February 12, 2009,
respondent-father did not enter a plea or make any admissions to the allegations in the
neglect petition. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. The
motion for peremptory reversal is DENIED.
I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
