_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 14, 2005
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). The parties shall include among the issues to be addressed at oral argument
whether a claimant who elects to challenge a long-term disability benefits decision by the
Office of State Employer must do so in circuit court or, in contrast, in the Court of
Claims. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order,
but they should avoid submitting a mere restatement of the arguments 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.
