_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 24, 2010
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 in
part. The Court of Appeals erred in concluding that the doctrine of acquiescence applies
to easements. See e.g. West Michigan Dock & Mkt Corp v Lakeland Invs, 210 Mich App
505 (1995); McQueen v Black, 168 Mich App 641 (1998); Wood v Denton, 53 Mich App
435 (1974). In all other respects, the application for leave to appeal is DENIED, because
we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
