Docket Nos. 133178, 133410, 133412. COA No. 257917.
Supreme Court of Michigan.
September 14, 2007.
On order of the Court, the motion for reconsideration of this Court's June 22, 2007 orders is considered, and it is DENIED, because it does not appear that the orders were entered erroneously.
MARKMAN, J., dissents and states as follows:
For the reasons set forth in my dissenting statement at 478 Mich. 916, 733 N.W.2d 23 (2007), I would grant appellants' motion for reconsideration and grant leave to appeal. Few recent appeals have raised issues of greater long-term consequence for the integrity of this state's legal system than the instant appeal. It is unfortunate  indeed it is inexplicable  that the highest court of this state would not view this case as warranting its attention. The practical and legal reverberations of today's decision will be felt for years to come in Michigan.
