_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motions for leave to file briefs amicus curiae are
GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal January 25, 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 Court of Appeals erred in holding that
Rakestraw v General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc, 469 Mich 220 (2003), does not apply
where the preexisting condition is work-related. 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.
