BRANDEN JORDAN HATCHER,

_________________________________________/
By order of January 30, 2026, the plaintiff was directed to answer the application
for leave to appeal the July 8, 2025 order of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court,
the answer having been received, the application for leave to appeal is again considered,
and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be
reviewed by this Court.
