  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 16, 2010
  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, for
  the reasons stated in the Court of Appeals dissenting opinion, and we REINSTATE the
  September 9, 2009 order of the Wayne Circuit Court. See Atkins v SMART, 492 Mich
  707 (2012).

         MARILYN KELLY, J., would deny leave to appeal for the reasons set forth in her
  dissenting opinion in Atkins v SMART, 492 Mich 707, 723 (2012).

         HATHAWAY, J., not participating due to a familial relationship with counsel of
  record.

                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
