On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 23, 2008
judgment 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

Supply Company’s alleged negligent act of removing the machine guard was a proximate
cause of the injury to plaintiff Ronnie Myers. The parties may file supplemental briefs
within 56 days of the date of this order, but they should not submit mere restatements of
their application papers.
