  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for miscellaneous relief is GRANTED. The
  application for leave to appeal the May 22, 2014 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 because there are no grounds on which
  to equitably toll the statute of limitations. MCL 600.5827 and MCL 600.5829 govern the
  accrual of the plaintiffs’ claims. The statutory scheme is exclusive, and neither statute
  contains a provision to toll the period of limitations. See Trentadue v Buckler Automatic
  Lawn Sprinkler Co, 479 Mich. 378 (2007). The application for leave to appeal as cross-
  appellants is considered, and it is DENIED as moot.

        BERNSTEIN, J., not participating.

                            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.
