On order of the Court, the applications for leave to appeal the September 30, 2014
judgment of the Court of Appeals are considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
argument on whether to grant the applications or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1).
The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
addressing whether the Court of Appeals erred in interpreting Hoffner v Lanctoe, 492
Mich 450 (2012), when it held that the open and obvious doctrine does not preclude the
plaintiff’s premises liability claim. 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.
