The motion for sanctions is GRANTED, based on the plaintiff’s inflammatory and unsubstantiated accusations regarding the conduct of the defendants and the Court of Appeals. The plaintiff is ordered to pay this Court $250 within 28 days of the date of this order. 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.
