Markman, Justices v SC: 135159 COA: 279758 Washtenaw CC: 04-002966-DM ROBERT FRANCIS PONTE, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/ On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 30, 2007 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 August 30, 2007 order of the Court of Appeals and REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for plenary consideration. Because the July 12, 2007 order of the Washtenaw Circuit Court is a postjudgment order awarding attorney fees and costs, it is a final order under MCR 7.202(6)(a)(iv) that is appealable as a matter of right under MCR 7.203(A)(1). We do not retain jurisdiction. 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.
