_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 11, 2007
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in
lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and
REINSTATE the order of the Wayne Circuit Court denying the defendants' motions for
summary disposition because the plaintiff's predecessor is within the class of plaintiffs
identified in this Court's order in Mullins v St Joseph Mercy Hospital (Docket
No. 131879), 480 Mich 948 (decided 11/28/07). We REMAND this case to the Wayne
Circuit Court for further proceedings not inconsistent with this order and the order in
Mullins. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
