By order dated January 24, 2014, the Court granted a petition seeking transfer of jurisdiction from the Court of Appeals, and heard oral argument on April 3, 2014. After further consideration and discussion at conference after the oral argument, the Court has determined that it should not assume jurisdiction over this appeal and that the Court of Appeals opinion, Griffin v.

Pursuant to Appellate Rule 58(B), this appeal is at an end. The Court extends its appreciation to the attorneys for their presentations at the argument.

The Court directs the Clerk to certify this appeal as final and to send copies of this order to the Hon. Nancy H. Vaidik, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals and all counsel of record. The Court further directs the Clerk to post a copy of this order to the Court’s website and to send a copy of this order to LexisNexis and Thomson/Reuters for publication on-line and in the bound volumes of this Court’s decisions.
