_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 11, 2016
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 a party asserting an express waiver of a right to arbitrate must
demonstrate that it was prejudiced by the actions of the party asserting that right; and if
not, (2) whether the case management order in this case constituted an express waiver of
the right of the defendant, Mando America Corporation, to arbitrate. 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.
