STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS LAURA KNIGHT, UNPUBLISHED December 1, 2005 Plaintiff-Appellant, v KELLEY CLEAVES, LLOYD WARREN, and EVELYN WARREN, Defendants-Appellees, No. 262225 Macomb Circuit Court LC No. 2004-000837-NI AFTER REMAND and TITAN INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant-Not Participating. Before: Zahra, P.J., and Cavanagh and Owens, JJ. MEMORANDUM. This matter is before us following remand to the trial court for factual findings to support its summary dismissal of this third-party no-fault insurance action. After further review, we agree that there is no genuine issue of material fact and defendant was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See MCR 2.116(C)(10); Miller v Purcell, 246 Mich App 244, 246; 631 NW2d 760 (2001). Although the issues whether plaintiff’s injuries were objectively manifested and involved an important body function were not contested, the claim fails because, for the reasons stated by the trial court, plaintiff did not establish that her injuries affected her general ability to lead her normal life. See Kreiner v Fischer, 471 Mich 109, 132; 683 NW2d 611 (2004). Affirmed. /s/ Brian K. Zahra /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ Donald S. Owens -1-
