IN RE APPORTIONMENT OF WAYNE COUNTY — 2001 SHANNON G. PRICE, HERBERT SCOTT, MELVIN BYRD, SR., GLORIA ROCHA, and GARY GARDNER, Petitioners-Appellants, v. WAYNE COUNTY APPORTIONMENT COMMISSION, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 121390 (30).Supreme Court of Michigan.
May 2, 2002.

COA: 235339

On April 25, 2002, we ordered the parties to show cause why the apportionment plan approved by respondent Wayne County Apportionment Commission on June 8, 2001, should not be reinstated in light of our decision in In re Apportionment of Tuscola County — 2001, 466 Mich. ___ (April 25, 2002) (Docket No. 120250), overruling the October 26, 2001, decision by the Court of Appeals in the instant case. In reApportionment of Wayne County — 2001, 248 Mich. App. 89 (2001). The responses of the parties have been received.

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal from the April 12, 2002, decision 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. The districting plan approved by the Apportionment Commission on November 15, 2001, shall stand as the apportionment of the Wayne County Board of Commissioners, as directed by the Court of Appeals on April 12, 2002.
