  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 5, 2011
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  include among the issues to be briefed whether the failure of the taxing authority’s
  assessor to adjust the taxable value of real property in the year immediately after a
                                                                                                              2

transfer of the property in accordance with MCL 211.27a(3) precludes the Board of
Review from adjusting the taxable value in a later year.

      Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this
case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

                        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.
