_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 12, 2019
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
argument on the application. MCR 7.305(H)(1).
The appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this
order addressing whether the Court of Appeals correctly determined that it could not
satisfy MCL 421.13m(2)(a)(i)(A) by reporting no employees or no payroll for the eight
quarters before January 1, 2014. In addition to the brief, the appellant shall electronically
file an appendix conforming to MCR 7.312(D)(2). In the brief, citations to the record
must provide the appendix page numbers as required by MCR 7.312(B)(1). 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 alternative, stipulate to
the use of the appendix filed by the appellant. A reply, if any, must be filed by the
appellant within 14 days of being served with the appellee’s brief. The parties should not
submit mere restatements of their application papers.
The Labor Law and Business Law Sections of the State Bar of Michigan, the
Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Employers Association of West Michigan, and the
Small Business Association of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other
persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case may
move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
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.
