LAVERE DOUGLAS-LE BRYANT,
Defendant-Appellee.
____________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 23, 2016
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 action. MCR 7.305(H)(1).
The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
addressing: (1) whether the trial court abused its discretion in admitting “other acts”
evidence; (2) if so, whether the error was harmless; and (3) whether the testimony of
three police officers invaded the province of the jury when they testified as to their
observations in viewing video evidence. The parties should not submit mere restatements
of their application papers.
I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
