Order Granting Oral Argument in Case Pending on Application for Leave to Appeal January 26, 2007.
We direct the clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the applications or take other peremptory action. MCR 7.302(G)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address: (1) how the use tax exemption in MCL 205.94(1)(c) for property purchased for resale may best be reconciled with the statutory language of MCL 205.93(2), and (2) how MCL 205.94(2) affects this analysis. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 49 days of the date of this order, but they should avoid submitting mere restatements of the arguments made in their application papers. The Taxation Section of the State Bar of Michigan and both the Detroit Automobile Dealers Association and the Michigan Automobile Dealers Association are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
