On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 5, 2008
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

standard established at MCL 418.845, as interpreted by this Court in Karaczweski v

file supplemental briefs within 56 days of the date of this order, but they should not
