_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 15, 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 the Court of Claims had jurisdiction over plaintiffs’ claim under
MCL 600.6419(1)(a); and (2) whether MCL 600.631 created exclusive jurisdiction over
plaintiffs’ claim in the circuit court, including whether the denial of the postproduction
certificate of completion was a “decision . . . of [a] state board, commission, or agency,
authorized under the laws of this state to promulgate rules from which an appeal or other
judicial review has not otherwise been provided for by law.” 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.
