  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 18, 2014
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  address whether a mental health professional has a duty of care to third parties who might
  foreseeably be harmed by the mental health professional’s use of techniques that cause a
  patient to have false memories of sexual abuse.

       Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case
  may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

                           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.
