Dear Sir/Madam,
Attached is the signed trial court order denying Grabill’s motion to stay execution
of the April 9, 2026 order/judgment. In light of our filing of the April 22, 2026 hearing
transcript, along with this order, we can withdraw our pending emergency motion to waive
the transcript and order.
Please let me know if I can provide anything further.
Very truly yours,
Butzel Long, PC
