Opinion
No. 107283.
October 31, 2001.
COA: 177038, LC: 89-63221-CE
On order of the Court, we granted leave to appeal on November 9, 1998, and adjourned oral argument on November 22, 1999. For almost two years, the case has remained in abeyance, with no immediate prospects for resolution of the related federal issue. In light of the unusual circumstances of this case, pursuant to MCR 7.316(A)(7), we DISMISS this case without prejudice to the future right of any of the parties to file in this Court a motion asking that we reconsider the dismissal order and resolve the issues upon which we granted leave to appeal. In such a motion, and in responsive arguments, the parties shall address (a) the effect of the federal proceedings on the state claims and (b) whether, in light of those federal proceedings, this Court should proceed with oral argument or should remand this case to another Michigan court or agency.
