v SC: 134608
COA: 265426
Wayne CC: 03-318698-PZ
HENRY WATSON II,
Respondent-Appellee.
_______________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for reconsideration of this Court’s order of
December 14, 2007 is considered, and it is GRANTED. On reconsideration, we
MODIFY our order dated December 14, 2007. For the reasons stated in that order, the
Court of Appeals erred in reversing the Wayne Circuit Court’s decision setting aside the
foreclosure sale. But rather than reinstate the circuit court’s order, we REMAND this
case to the Court of Appeals for consideration of the remaining issues raised by the
respondent in that court but not addressed, in light of its prior disposition.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
MARKMAN, J., would deny leave to appeal for the reasons set forth in his
dissenting statement in this case, 480 Mich 981 (2007).
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.
