  ____________________________________/

         By order of May 17, 2017, the application for leave to appeal the August 9, 2016
  judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in Bazzi v
  Sentinel Ins Co (Docket No. 154442). On order of the Court, the case having been
  decided on July 18, 2018, 502 Mich. 390 (2018), the application is again considered.
  Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case
  to the Court of Appeals to address: (1) whether the published opinion in this case is
  consistent with the published opinion in Baker v Marshall, 323 Mich. App. 590 (2018), lv
  den 503 Mich. 861 (2018), and, if not, (2) the impact of MCR 7.215(J)(1) on the two
  opinions and, if necessary, (3) for reconsideration in light of Bazzi. In all other respects,
  leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining questions
  presented should be reviewed by this Court.

         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.
