  _____________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 17, 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 the plaintiff waived any statute of limitations defense; (2)
  whether Joughin v Joughin, 320 Mich App 380 (2017), was correctly decided; and (3)
  when a claim for retirement benefits under a judgment of divorce accrues. 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 Family Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Chapter
  of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers 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.
