Order

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 13, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall address: (1) whether a court's failure to comply with the 7–day notice provision of MCL 765.28 bars forfeiture of a bail bond posted by a surety; and (2) whether In re Forfeiture of Bail Bond, 276 Mich.App. 482, 740 N.W.2d 734 (2007), holding that the 7–day notice provision is directory rather than mandatory, was correctly decided.

Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
