On December 27, 2000 the Michigan Supreme Court GRANTED the motion for stay of precedential effect and the motion to file brief amicus curiae.

This order STAYED the precedential effect of the Court of Appeals' decision of September 12, 2000, which related to the County Clerk and Family Court.  (See December Intercom)

On February 5, 2001, the Supreme Court GRANTED the application for leave to appeal the September 12th Court of Appeals decision, "limited to the issue whether the Court of Appeals had subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint for superintending control filed by the Lapeer County Clerk.  In all other respects the application for leave to appeal is held in ABEYANCE pending resolution of the jurisdictional issue."
