The appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this order addressing whether the Court of Appeals correctly determined that it could not satisfy MCL 421.13m(2)(a)(i)(A) by reporting no employees or no payroll for the eight quarters before January 1, 2014. 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 Labor Law and Business Law Sections of the State Bar of Michigan, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Employers Association of West Michigan, and the Small Business Association of Michigan are invited to file briefs 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.
