UNPUBLISHED

Plaintiff-Appellant,
and
BRUCE S. HARDY
Plaintiff,
v
No. 292259
Ingham Circuit Court
LC No. 08-000012-NO
DEPUTY DAWN NYE, INGHAM COUNTY
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, and INGHAM
COUNTY,
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: MURPHY, C.J., and HOEKSTRA and STEPHENS, JJ.
STEPHENS, J. (concurring).
I write separately only to take exception to the majority’s determination that plaintiff has
failed to create a factual question regarding whether Deputy Nye engaged her lights and siren.
While the majority correctly notes that plaintiff’s statement to the officer who interviewed her at
the hospital is hearsay, the record is undeveloped regarding whether it is nonetheless admissible
under MRE 803(2) or 803(24). The trial court did not address the hearsay issue. Without such a
record, the determination of the trial court and the majority that there was no factual issue is
premature.
/s/ Cynthia Diane Stephens
