  KENT COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT,
           Respondent-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 22, 2012
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  address whether the Court of Appeals erred by reversing the Kent Circuit Court’s ruling
  that the petitioner’s claim for civil contempt indemnification damages under MCL
  600.1721 is barred by the Government Tort Liability Act, MCL 691.1401 et seq.

          The motions for leave to file brief amicus curiae of the Michigan Sheriffs’
  Association, Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Municipal League Liability &
  Property Pool, Michigan Townships Association, and Public Corporation Law Section of
  the State Bar of Michigan are GRANTED. Other 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.

        MARILYN KELLY, J., would deny leave to appeal.

                            I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
