Supreme Court of Michigan.

January 11, 2008.

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 22, 2007 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 peremptory action. MCR 7.302(G)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address whether the circuit court properly imposed the sanction of dismissal with prejudice and whether the dismissal order was a "verdict" as defined in MCR 2.403(O)(4) for purposes of ordering case evaluation sanctions. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order, but they should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
