ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 5, 2023 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on the application. MCR 7.305(H)(1). The parties shall file supplemental briefs in accordance with MCR 7.312(E), addressing: (1) whether, pursuant to Macomb County Charter § 8.6.1 and/or defendant's annual appropriations ordinances (see, e.g., Ordinance 2017-04 § 10(H)), plaintiff is required to provide defendant or its agent with access to realtime, read-only access to financial software programs used by the county; and (2) whether the term "law" as used in Charter § 3.5(a) encompasses ordinances validly enacted by the Commission.
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.
