  MACOMB COUNTY,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

          Upon de novo review by the entire Court in accordance with MCR 2.003(D)(2)(b),
  the Court orders that the motion of plaintiffs-appellees to disqualify Justice David F.
  Viviano from participating in the decision of this case is DENIED for the reason that no
  justice is persuaded that there is any ground for the disqualification of Justice Viviano.

         VIVIANO, J., did not participate in the decision because he is the subject of the
  disqualification motion.

        CAVANAGH, J., is not participating in the case, including the motion to disqualify,
  because the case was argued before she assumed office.

                           I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
