  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 21, 2015
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we
  REMAND this case to that court to reconsider whether the plaintiffs’ complaint stated a
  legally cognizable claim of statutory conversion under MCL 600.2919a(1)(a). Hofweber
  v Detroit Trust Co, 295 Mich 96, 100 (1940). The Court of Appeals erred by failing to
  limit its review to the allegations contained in the complaint and by failing to recognize
  the appropriate standard for reviewing the sufficiency of a pleading. See MCR
  2.111(B)(1); Steed v Covey, 355 Mich 504, 511 (1959).

        We do not retain jurisdiction.

                           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.
