On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 11, 2015
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 7.305(H)(1).
The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
addressing: (1) whether in the absence of an agreement for joint funding of a district
court in districts of the third class where the court sits in only one political subdivision,
all district funding units within the district have an independent obligation to fund the
court; (2) whether the parties in this case agreed that the 45th District Court would be
funded entirely by the City of Oak Park; and (3) whether revenue from fees collected for
building operations and retiree benefits is subject to revenue sharing under MCL
600.8379(1)(c). 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.
