At oral argument, the parties shall address whether the plaintiff attorney, proceeding in propria persona, is entitled to attorney fees under § 11(4) of the Open Meetings Act, MCL 15.271(4). The parties may file supplemental briefs within 56 days of the date of this order, but they should avoid submitting mere restatements of the arguments made in their application papers.
