Order Granting Oral Argument in Cases Pending on Application for Leave to Appeal.
No. 120696. Pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), the clerk is to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the application or take other peremptory action merited by MCR 7.302(G)(1). The parties shall limit their presentation to the following issues: (1) whether the disputed out-of-court statements were hearsay under MRE 801(c); (2) if the statements were hearsay, were they also offered for a nonhearsay purpose; and (3) if the statements were offered for both a hearsay and a nonhearsay purpose, what test is used in determining their admissibility? The parties may file supplemental briefs within 28 days of the date of this order. The application for leave to appeal remains pending. Court of Appeals No. 224937.
I concur in granting oral argument, but would not limit the issues to be addressed.
