WAYNE ALARIE and RICHARD MARTIN,
Complainants-Appellants.
_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the complainants’ motion for full-Court consideration of
the motion for recusal of the Chief Justice is considered, and the complainants’ motion to
recuse Chief Justice Kelly is DENIED, because the campaign contribution was within the
lawful limits set by the Legislature.

CORRIGAN, J., not participating. I decline to participate in the resolution of this
motion for recusal directed at the Chief Justice on the basis of my previously stated
objections to the new disqualification rule.

YOUNG, J., not participating. I have voluntarily recused myself from participation
in this case because I was general counsel for AAA when a portion of the underlying
litigation was pending. Moreover, consistent with my previously stated objections to this
Court’s new disqualification rule,1 I otherwise decline to participate in the resolution of
any disqualification motion addressed to a Justice other than me.

See 485 Mich civ, cxxxii (2009) (YOUNG, J., dissenting); Pellegrino v Ampco Systems
Parking, 485 Mich 1134 (2010) (YOUNG, J., not participating).

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.
