ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 8, 2024 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 whether the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that: (1) no genuine issue of material fact existed as to whether defendants Neal or NSS Construction, Inc., breached a duty owed to the plaintiff's decedent, and (2) the trial court abused its discretion in imposing sanctions against NSS for spoliation of evidence.
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.
