Defendants-Appellees.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 16, 2006
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 proffered affidavit
from plaintiff's expert witness was sufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact, in
light of the principles discussed in Simko v Blake, 448 Mich 648 (1995), and other
applicable law. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 35 days of the date of
this order, but 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.
