On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 5, 2009 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. MCL 7.302(H)(1). At
oral argument, the parties shall address whether the legislative change to MCL 418.845,
2008 PA 499, should be applied to this case. The parties may file supplemental briefs
within 28 days of the date of this order, but they should not submit mere restatements of
their application papers. We further direct the Clerk to schedule the oral argument in this
case for the same future session of this Court when it will hear oral argument on whether
to grant the application in Bezeau v Palace Sports & Entertainment, Inc (Docket No.
137500).
The Worker’s Compensation Section of the State Bar of Michigan is invited to file
a brief 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.
