argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.305(H)(1).
The appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this
order addressing whether an appeal from a personal protection order is necessarily
rendered moot by the fact of its expiration. In addition to the brief, the appellant shall
electronically file an appendix containing the items listed at MCR 7.312(D)(2). The
appellee shall file a supplemental brief within 21 days of being served with the
appellant’s brief. The appellee shall also electronically file an appendix, or in the
