ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 28, 2023 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall address whether: (1) each of the plaintiff's common law claims is inconsistent with and preempted by the Lawful Internet Gaming Act (LIGA), MCL 432.301 et seq., such that the Wayne Circuit Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over this action; and (2) the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has jurisdiction, exclusive or otherwise, over common law claims regarding contract or account disputes, and if so, what statutes or administrative rules govern its resolution of the dispute. The time allowed for oral argument shall be 20 minutes for each side. MCR 7.314(B)(1).
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.
