  __________________________________________/

         By order of September 12, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the January
  30, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  Dye v Esurance Prop & Cas Ins Co (Docket No. 155784). On order of the Court, the
  case having been decided on July 11, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019), the application is again
  considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the reasons stated in Dye. We
  REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for further proceedings not inconsistent
  with this order.

         BERNSTEIN, J., did not participate because he has a family member with an interest
  that could be affected by the proceeding.

         CAVANAGH, J., did not participate due to her prior relationship with Garan Lucow
  Miller, P.C.

                           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.
