  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 30, 2012
  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 and
  REINSTATE the order of the Calhoun Circuit Court dismissing the complaint. Contrary
  to the Court of Appeals opinion, the trial court did consider the factors listed in Vicencio
  v Ramirez, 211 Mich App 501 (1995), and the plaintiff’s failure to comply with discovery
  requests in the 2008 case was relevant to the court’s decision under factor 2. When all of
  the facts of this case are considered, the trial court’s decision was within the range of
  principled outcomes.

                           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.
