Opinion:
Cooley, J.
This is an application for a mcmdmrms to respondent, requiring him to set aside an order whereby he transferred to the federal court a certain cause to which relators are parties. No application appears to have been made to the circuit judge himself, and for this reason we deny the application without looking into the merits. We must assume, if the application has merits, the circuit judge would voluntarily have recognized them.
The other Justices concurred.
