CITY OF STERLING HEIGHTS, Self-Insured,
and ACCIDENT FUND COMPANY,
Defendants-Appellants.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion to file brief amicus curiae is GRANTED. The
application for leave to appeal the January 10, 2005 order of the Court of Appeals is
considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(l), 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)(l) with respect to defendant’s first two issues. The parties shall include
among the issues to be addressed at oral argument: (1) whether this Court’s decision in
Robinson v City of Detroit, 462 Mich 439 (2000), overruled Hagerman v Gencorp
Automotive, 457 Mich 720 (1998); and (2) whether this case should be remanded to the
WCAC for a determination of Adam Paige’s factual dependency as of the date of his
father’s death, in accord with Runnion v Speidel, 270 Mich 18 (1934). The parties may
file supplemental briefs within 28 days of the date of this order, but they should avoid
submitting mere restatement of arguments made in 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.
