  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 15, 2011
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  address whether the 180-day statute of limitations in Section 10(1) of the Freedom of
  Information Act, MCL 15.240(1), begins to run on the date the public body produces its
  final determination to deny a request for a public record or, as the Court of Appeals held,
  on the date the public body sends out or officially circulates its denial.

        The Michigan Municipal League is invited to file a brief amicus curiae. 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.

                           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.
                           June 29, 2011                       _________________________________________
