> John Doe v Dept of Mental Health, Wayne County Civil Action HC-19434-aw in 226 NW2d 673
Sorry to multiply emails to you, but I wonder whether the document
company was given correct information by the clerk of court about the
number of digits in docket numbers. All of your current sources give
five digit numbers. In addition, I find another case citing the John
Doe case, and it again gives the five digit number: HC-73-19434-AW.
People v. Smith, 405 Mich. 418, 275 N.W.2d 466 (1979). The citation is
in footnote 2. (Btw, I think that's the same Smith as in the case you
cited at 226 N.W.2d 673.) Is it likely that BNA once, and the Michigan
Court of Appeals twice, got the docket number wrong and that they did it
wrong in exactly the same way all three times? It could happen, but I
think these facts are reason enough to doubt whichever deputy clerk of
court said that and to inquire there again, of someone else.
