         On order of the Court, 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 should be reviewed by this Court before consideration by the
  Court of Appeals.




                           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.
