Justices
v SC: 127580
COA: 250648
Wayne CC: 02-221723-CZ
THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 14, 2004
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
address what powers the City has over utilities under its constitutional authority to
exercise reasonable control over its streets, whether that authority invariably allows the
City to shift the costs of relocation of utility equipment to the utility, and how the City’s
constitutional authority should be reconciled with the MPSC’s broad authority to regulate
utilities. The motions for leave to file briefs amicus curiae are also considered, and they
are GRANTED.
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.
