Respondent.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 1, 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 VACATE the May 1 and August 13, 2008 orders of the Court of
Appeals and we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for reinstatement of the
respondent-mother’s claim of appeal. The record does not demonstrate that the family
court substantially complied with the court rules governing termination of the
respondent-mother’s parental rights and notice of appellate rights.
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.
