The application for leave to appeal the January 22, 2008 order of the Court of Appeals is

REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on leave granted. We
further ORDER that trial court proceedings are stayed pending completion of this appeal.
On motion of a party or on its own motion, the Court of Appeals may modify, set aside,
