Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 72898 in the 5/6/20 edition) and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of the court’s decision in Pearce and Brugger. It denied the motion to set aside the earlier order holding the application for leave to appeal in abeyance, to vacate the Court of Appeals’ decision, and for remand to the trial court.
