STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE
INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant-Appellee.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 24, 2006
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
KELLY, J., dissents and states as follows:
This Court should grant leave to appeal to consider whether MCL 600.5821(4)
exempts a state governmental body from the one-year-back rule of MCL 500.3145(1).
This is a jurisprudentially significant issue of first impression.
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.
