                                                                   12-509215-NA

  _____________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 29, 2014
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in
  lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals. The
  factual findings of the Family Division of the Wayne Circuit Court were inadequate for
  review. The Court of Appeals should have remanded the case to the trial court to make
  further factual findings under MCR 3.977(I)(2). Additionally, the Court of Appeals
  accepted the claim of appeal by the guardian ad litem where no appeal of right existed
  under MCR 3.993(A). We REMAND this case to the Family Division of the Wayne
  Circuit Court to make findings of fact sufficient for appellate review, as required by
  MCR 3.977(I).

        We do not retain jurisdiction.

                          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.
