  _______________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 21, 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 REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for
  further proceedings. On remand, while retaining jurisdiction, the Court of Appeals shall
  remand this case to the Wayne Circuit Court, Family Division, to conduct a continued
  best-interests hearing based on updated information regarding the respondent and the
  minor child. At the conclusion of the hearing, the circuit court shall forward the record
  and its finding as to the child’s best interests to the Court of Appeals, which shall then
  resolve the issues presented by the respondent. In the event that the respondent is not
  aggrieved by the circuit court’s decision, the respondent shall file a motion or signed
  stipulation to dismiss the appeal. See MCR 7.218.

        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.
