Orders Granting Oral Argument in Case Pending on Application for Leave to Appeal.
We direct the clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the application or take other peremptory action. MCR 7.302(H)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address whether the legislative change to MCL 418.845, 2008 PA 499, should be applied to this case. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 28 days of the date of this order, but they should not submit mere restatements of their application papers. We further direct the clerk to schedule the oral argument in this case for the same future session of this Court when it will hear oral argument on whether to grant the application in Bezeau v Palace Sports Entertainment, Inc. (Docket No. 137500).
The Workers' Compensation Section of the State Bar of Michigan is invited to file a brief amicus curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
