  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
            Plaintiff-Appellee,
  v                                                                  SC: 144387

                                                                     Jackson CC: 10-005949-FC
  KADEEM DENNIS WHITE,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the motion for rehearing is considered, and it is DENIED.
  We reaffirm the principle stated more than 100 years ago in Peoples v Evening News
  Ass’n, 51 Mich 11, 21 (1883), that “rehearing will not be ordered on the ground merely
  that a change of members of the bench has either taken place, or is about to occur.” The
  same is true for reconsideration. Likewise, we elect to apply MCR 2.119(F)(3) to these
  cases, which states, “[A] motion for rehearing or reconsideration which merely presents
  the same issues ruled on by the court, either expressly or by reasonable implication, will
  not be granted.” MCR 2.119(F)(3). Instead, the moving party must demonstrate “a
  palpable error by which the court and the parties have been misled and show that a
  different disposition of the motion must result from correction of the error.” Id. In this
  case, the moving party has failed to satisfy either of these requirements and has,
  therefore, failed to demonstrate grounds for rehearing.

         Further, the Court has published for comment proposed amendments of MCR
  7.313(E) and MCR 7.313(F) to incorporate into the Court’s rules the standards set forth
  in MCR 2.119(F)(3) with regard to motions for rehearing and reconsideration. The
  publication order that contains the proposed rule changes is attached.

                            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.
                            April 12, 2013                      _________________________________________
