_________________________________________/
By order of April 13, 2007, the application for leave to appeal the January 25,
2005 and February 1, 2005 orders of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending
the decision in Mullins v St Joseph Mercy Hosp (Docket No. 131879). On order of the
2
Court, the case having been decided on November 28, 2007, ___ Mich ___ (2007), the
application is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting
leave to appeal, we REVERSE the orders of the Court of Appeals, REINSTATE the
order of the Ingham Circuit Court denying defendants' motion for summary disposition,
and REMAND this case to the Ingham Circuit Court for further proceedings not
inconsistent with this order and the order in Mullins.
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.
