On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 11, 2013
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1).
The parties shall submit supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
addressing whether the defendant forwarding companies engage in “soliciting a claim for
collection” and therefore are “collection agenc[ies]” as defined by MCL 339.901(b). The
parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
