  CITY OF DETROIT and the

  _______________________________________/ 


         On order of the Court, the motion for reconsideration of this Court’s April 11,
  2007 order is considered, and it is DENIED, because it does not appear that the order was
  entered erroneously.

          CAVANAGH and KELLY, JJ., would grant reconsideration for the reasons set forth
  in Justice Cavanagh’s dissent to the April 11, 2007 order.

         WEAVER, J., dissents and states as follows:

         I would grant plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. I write further to state that I
  dissent from the participation of the majority of four, Chief Justice Taylor and Justices
  Corrigan, Young, and Markman in this case, where Mr. Geoffrey N. Fieger’s law firm
  represents the plaintiff. For my reasons in detail, see my dissent in Grievance
  Administrator v Fieger, 476 Mich 231, 328-347 (2006) (Weaver J., dissenting), and my
  dissent to the denial of the motion for stay in Grievance Administrator v Fieger, 477
  Mich 1228, 1231-1271 (2006) (Weaver, J., dissenting).




                           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.
