  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 20, 2015
  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 parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
  addressing whether the filing of a motion for an extension of time to file an affidavit of
  merit, which is subsequently granted, is sufficient to toll the statute of limitations. The
  parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.




                           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.
