_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 22, 2007
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 the circuit court
properly imposed the sanction of dismissal with prejudice and whether the dismissal
order was a “verdict” as defined in MCR 2.403(O)(4) for purposes of ordering case
evaluation sanctions. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date
of this order, but they should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
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.
