Summary

In an order after the application for leave to appeal the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 65345 in the 6/8/17 edition for the published opinion) was granted, the court vacated its order granting the application, vacated the Court of Appeals judgment, and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n.

Concurring, Justice Viviano wrote to offer thoughts on how the U.S. Supreme Court’s analysis in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n might apply to this case involving “the constitutionality of the University of Michigan’s prohibition of firearms on campus.”
