On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 28, 2009 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall include among the issues to be briefed: (1) whether, under the facts of this case, defendant Starr Commonwealth's alleged failure to "immediately" notify, within the meaning of MCL 803.306a(1), appropriate authorities of Michael Kirksey's escape constituted negligence per se, (2) whether defendant Starr Commonwealth's conduct was a proximate cause of plaintiff's loss, and (3) whether MCL 803.306a(1) creates a duty with respect to the general public.
