  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the motions for immediate consideration and motion to
  permit filing a reply brief are GRANTED. The motion for reconsideration or
  clarification of this Court’s April 13, 2012 order is considered, and it is DENIED,
  because it does not appear that the order was entered erroneously.

        MARKMAN, J. (dissenting).

        For the reasons stated in my dissenting statement of April 13, 2012, I would grant
  defendant’s motion for reconsideration and then grant either its motion to bypass the
  Court of Appeals or its motion for a stay.

                          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 27, 2012                      _________________________________________
