By order of August 29, 2006, the application for leave to appeal the February 7, 2006 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in Washington v Sinai Hospital of Greater Detroit (Docket No. 130641). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on June 27, 2007, 478 Mich 412 (2007), the application is again considered and, it appearing to this Court that the case of Braverman v Garden City Hospital (Docket Nos. 134445-134446) is pending on appeal before this Court and that the decision in that case may resolve an issue raised in the present application for leave to appeal, we ORDER that the application be held in ABEYANCE pending the decision in that case.

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. October 17, 2007 _________________________________________ l1010 Clerk
