_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 31, 2008
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 the issue whether the Michigan Bureau of Worker’s
Compensation has jurisdiction over the controversy arising out of plaintiff’s injury, MCL
418.845. The Court of Appeals shall address the remaining issues only if it determines
that jurisdiction in Michigan is proper.
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.
