Plaintiff-Appellant, Justices
v SC: 161865
COA: 346361
Wayne CC: 18-005480-CK
ANGELA JONES,
Defendant-Appellee.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 21, 2020 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 its declaration that a homeowners insurance policy was void ab initio
should be considered a denial of a claim under the policy such that it may invoke its right
to subrogation when it was required by a standard mortgage clause to pay the balance of
the appellee’s mortgage. 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.
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.
