Supreme Court of Michigan.

May 9, 2018

Order

On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the April 17, 2018 orders of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should now be reviewed by this Court.
