_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 27, 2006
judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-
appellant are considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to
grant the applications or take other peremptory action. MCR 7.302(G)(1). The parties
shall submit supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order addressing
whether an employee of a public body must report to an outside agency or higher
authority to be protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act, MCL 15.361 et seq., and,
if so, what statutory language supports that conclusion. They should avoid submitting a
mere restatement of the arguments made in 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.
