  WATSON BROTHERS COMPANY,
           Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 30, 2011
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in
  lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and
  we REMAND this case to the St. Clair Circuit Court for further proceedings not
  inconsistent with this order. The Court of Appeals erred by concluding that the plaintiff’s
  action for breach of implied warranty in this case is subject to the Statute of Repose,
  MCL 600.5839, because the claim does not allege an “injury to property . . . arising out
  of the defective and unsafe condition of an improvement to real property.”

                           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.
                           March 28, 2012                      _________________________________________
