_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 7, 2004
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), we
direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the application or take
other peremptory action permitted by MCR 7.302(G)(1). The parties shall include among
the issues to be addressed at oral argument the questions whether plaintiff created a
genuine issue of material fact regarding: (1) the duty owed plaintiff's decedent by the
slag contractor, the truck driver and the truck owner; and (2) proximate causation as to all
defendants. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 28 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.
