  SHAWN LOVETO CAMERON, JR.,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 4, 2017
  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 appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this
  order addressing: (1) whether court costs under MCL 769.1k(1)(b)(iii) should be
  classified as a tax, a fee, or some other category of charge; and (2) if court costs are a tax,
  whether the statute violates the Separation of Powers Clause, Const 1963, art 3, § 2, or
  the Distinct-Statement Clause, Const 1963, art 4, § 32. In addition to the brief, the
  appellant shall electronically file an appendix conforming to MCR 7.312(D)(2). In the
  brief, citations to the record must provide the appendix page numbers as required by
  MCR 7.312(B)(1). The appellee shall file a supplemental brief within 21 days of being
  served with the appellant’s brief. The appellee shall also electronically file an appendix,
  or in the alternative, stipulate to the use of the appendix filed by the appellant. A reply, if
  any, must be filed by the appellant within 14 days of being served with the appellee’s
  brief. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.

         The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and the Prosecuting Attorneys
  Association of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups
  interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court
  for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.




                            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.
