_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 1, 2010 order
of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on
whether to grant the application or take other peremptory action. MCR 7.302(H)(1). At
oral argument, the parties shall address: (1) whether the Workers’ Compensation
Appellate Commission abused its discretion in dismissing the plaintiff’s appeal for her
failure initially to submit a 7-page transcript which contained no substantive information;
and (2) if the Commission abused its discretion, what less harsh action would have been
appropriate? The parties may file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this
order, but they should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
