_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration of the motion to
stay is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the September 11, 2008 order of
the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting
leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on
leave granted. The motion to stay the trial court proceedings is GRANTED, and the
proceedings in the St. Clair Circuit Court are stayed pending the completion of this
appeal. On motion of a party or on its own motion, the Court of Appeals may modify, set
aside, or place conditions on the stay if it appears that the appeal is not being vigorously
prosecuted or if other appropriate grounds appear.
CAVANAGH and KELLY, JJ., would deny leave to appeal.
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.
