_________________________________________/
On October 19, 2005, the Court heard oral argument on the application for leave to
appeal the September 7, 2004 judgment of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court,
the application for leave to appeal is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1),
in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE that part of the Court of Appeals
judgment that reverses the Wayne Circuit Court’s grant of defendant’s motion for
summary disposition on plaintiff’s Federal Employers’ Liability Act claim, for the
reasons stated by dissenting Court of Appeals Judge Zahra. We REINSTATE the order
of the Wayne Circuit Court granting defendant’s motion for summary disposition.
CAVANAGH and KELLY, JJ., would deny leave to appeal.
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.
