Court of Appeals No. 259563.
Summary Dispositions March 19, 2008.
Pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we reverse in part the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we reinstate the October 28, 2004, order of the Livingston Circuit Court. We affirm the Court of Appeals ruling that the circuit court had jurisdiction to hear this dispute, but we reverse the appeals court's conclusion that a remand was necessary to consider other provisions of the Land Division Act (LDA), MCL 560.101 et seq., or to reconsider certain defendants' equitable claims. Under Section 227a(1) of the LDA, MCL 560.227a(1), the circuit court properly determined that the whole of the vacated drive in question should be vested in the rightful owners of the adjacent lots "within the subdivision covered by the plat . . ." and that the defendants Adler Enterprises Company, LLC, et al, do not own lots that are covered by the plat in question.
