         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the December 26, 2018 order of the Court of Appeals
  is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on leave granted. Trial
  court proceedings are stayed pending the completion of this appeal. On motion of a party
  or on its own motion, the Court of Appeals may modify, set aside, or place conditions on
  the stay if it appears that the appeal is not being vigorously prosecuted or if other
  appropriate grounds appear.

                          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.
