ORDER

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal is considered, and it is GRANTED limited to the issues whether (1) the defendant pool manufacturer had a duty to warn the plaintiff that serious or permanent injuries could result from a dive into the shallow end of the defendant's above ground pool; and (2) it was error for the trial court to grant summary judgment to the defendant either (a) because the plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, GCR 1963, 117.2(1); or (b) because there was an absence of a genuine issue of material fact in dispute and defendant was entitled to judgment as a matter of law pursuant to GCR 1963, 117.2(3).
