         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 10, 2016
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  address whether open, notorious, adverse, and continuous use of property for at least
  fifteen years creates a prescriptive easement that is an easement appurtenant, without
  regard to whether the owner of the dominant estate took legal action to claim the
  easement.

                          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.
