  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 7, 2019
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  address whether the Court of Appeals erred when it concluded that the plaintiff had failed
  to allege sufficient facts to state a constitutional-tort claim under the principles outlined
  in Canton v Harris, 489 US 378 (1989), and Bryan Co Bd of Co Comm’rs v Brown, 520
  US 397, 409 (1997). The time allowed for oral argument shall be 20 minutes for each
  side. MCR 7.314(B)(1).

          The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan is invited to file a brief amicus
  curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue 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.
