DESMOND RICKS,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
STATE OF MICHIGAN,
Defendant-Appellee.
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 22, 2025
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
THOMAS, J., did not participate because she may have independent knowledge
regarding this case.
