        On order of the Court, the applications for leave to appeal the May 20, 2010
judgment of the Court of Appeals are considered, and they are GRANTED. The parties
shall include among the issues to be briefed: (1) whether the probability of injury is a
proper consideration in determining proximate causation, and (2) whether partial
summary disposition may be granted to the plaintiff with regard to proximate causation
where the negligence of the defendant has not been established.

        The Michigan Association for Justice and the Michigan Defense Trial Counsel,
Inc. 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, 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.
