Defendants-Appellants.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 27, 2007
order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of
granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals, for
consideration, as on leave granted, of whether the trial court abused its discretion when it
denied the defendants’ motion to strike the testimony of Ronald Gabriel, M.D. In
particular, we direct the Court of Appeals to consider whether Dr. Gabriel’s proposed
testimony meets the criteria of MCL 600.2955 and MRE 702. See Craig v Oakwood
Hospital, 471 Mich 67 (2004), and Gilbert v DaimlerChrysler Corp, 470 Mich 749
(2004).
We do not retain jurisdiction.
KELLY, J., would deny leave to appeal.
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.
