On order of the Court, the applications for leave to appeal the January 19, 2010 judgment of the Court of Appeals are considered. We DIRECT the parties to submit supplemental briefs, within 35 days of the date of this order, addressing the issue whether, because the titled owner of the vehicle involved in the accident maintained an automobile insurance policy on the vehicle issued by plaintiff Geico, and Geico, in turn, filed the written certification with the State of Michigan required under MCL 500.3163(1), the resulting no-fault coverage satisfied the condition for eligibility for personal protection insurance benefits specified by MCL 500.3113(b), even if defendant Goldstein was an "owner" of the vehicle within the meaning of MCL 500.3101(h)(i), thereby obviating any need for the further proceedings ordered by the Court of Appeals. The applications for leave to appeal remain pending.
