  TOWNSHIP OF NORTHVILLE,
           Respondent-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 31, 2011
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED, limited to the issue
  whether the Court of Appeals correctly held that the Michigan Tax Tribunal had no
  jurisdiction to reduce an unconstitutional increase in the taxable value of property if the
  improperly increased taxable value was not challenged in the year of the increase.

         The motion of the Michigan Association of Realtors for leave to file brief amicus
  curiae is GRANTED. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of this
  issue 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.
                           September 28, 2011                  _________________________________________
