_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 4, 2006 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

CAVANAGH and KELLY, JJ., would affirm the denial of summary disposition as to the individual city defendants, reverse the grant of summary disposition as to the individual county defendants, and remand for trial to allow a trier of fact to resolve the unresolved questions of causation, for the reasons stated in the Court of Appeals dissenting opinion.

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. November 30, 2006 _________________________________________ t1122 Clerk
