  _______________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 19, 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 whether an appeal from a personal protection order is necessarily
  rendered moot by the fact of its expiration. In addition to the brief, the appellant shall
  electronically file an appendix containing the items listed at MCR 7.312(D)(2). 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 Family Law Section of the State Bar 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.
