MCR 7.305(H)(1). The parties shall file supplemental briefs in accordance with MCR 7.312(E), addressing whether the plaintiff's injuries arose out of the operation or use of a motor vehicle under MCL 500.3105(1), including whether there was a sufficient causal connection between the van that the plaintiff encountered and his injuries to entitle him to personal protection insurance benefits.

Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
