_________________________________________/
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
7.302(G)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address whether post-traumatic stress
disorder may qualify as a “bodily injury” that permits a plaintiff to avoid the application
of governmental immunity from tort liability under the motor vehicle exception, MCL
691.1405. 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.
The Michigan Association for Justice, the Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Inc.,
and the Insurance Institute of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other
persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may
move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
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.
