  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 1, 2014
  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 7.302(H)(1).

  addressing whether defendant William J. Harmon’s alleged failure to act was the
  proximate cause of the decedent’s death. MCL 691.1407(2)(c). 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.
