Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 155156
COA: 335763
Genesee CC: 10-093161-CL
NATIONAL HERITAGE ACADEMIES, INC.,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
The application for leave to appeal the January 5, 2017 order of the Court of Appeals is
considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
REVERSE the November 3, 2016 order of the Genesee Circuit Court, and we REMAND
this case to that court for entry of an order granting the defendant’s motion to define the
scope of the trial on remand. In Hecht v National Heritage Academies, Inc, 499 Mich
586, 628 (2016), this Court vacated only the jury award of future economic damages; the
special jury verdict finding that the plaintiff would not suffer future emotional-distress
damages as a result of his termination was not vacated.
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.
