  CITY OF FLINT,
             Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of December 4, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the June 26,
  2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  Genesee Co Drain Comm’r Jeffrey Wright v Genesee Co (Docket No. 156579). On order
  of the Court, the case having been decided on July 18, 2019, 504 Mich. 410 (2019), the
  application is again 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 for its consideration of plaintiffs’ unjust enrichment claims in light of
  Genesee Co Drain Comm’r Jeffrey Wright, and, if necessary, the issues raised by the
  defendant but not addressed by that court during its initial review of this case.

         We do not retain jurisdiction.

        CLEMENT, J., did not participate due to her prior involvement as chief legal
  counsel for the Governor.

                           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.
