_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 26, 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 the Court of Appeals exceeded its limited appellate review of a
decision of the Michigan Tax Tribunal; and, if so, (2) whether the Michigan Tax Tribunal
may utilize a valuation approach similar to that recognized in Clark Equipment Company
v Leoni Twp, 113 Mich App 778 (1982). The parties should not resubmit 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.
