ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 30, 2023 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall address whether: (1) shoes can constitute dangerous weapons for purposes of MCL 764.1f(2)(b); and (2) even if shoes can constitute dangerous weapons, the motion to quash should have been granted because there was no evidence that the defendant was "armed with a dangerous weapon" during the assault as required by MCL 764.1f(2)(b). The time allowed for oral argument shall be 20 minutes for each side. MCR 7.314(B)(1).
