  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal prior to decision by the Court of Appeals is
  considered, and it is DENIED, because the Court is not persuaded that the questions
  presented will cause a “delay in final adjudication . . . likely to cause substantial harm” or
  that “the appeal is from a ruling that a provision of the Michigan Constitution, a
  Michigan statute, a rule or regulation included in the Michigan Administrative Code, or
  any other action of the legislative or executive branch of state government is invalid.”
  MCR 7.302(B)(4). The question of awarding costs is reserved until further order of the
  Court.

                            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.
