  and
  SPECTRUM HEALTH BUTTERWORTH

             Defendant-Appellant. 

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 1, 2008
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
  argument on November 19, 2008, at 9:30 a.m., on whether to grant the application or take
  other peremptory action. MCR 7.302(G)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address
  whether that portion of the Court of Appeals judgment holding that the direct liability
  claims against defendants West Michigan Cardiovascular Surgeons and Spectrum Health
  Butterworth Campus should be dismissed without prejudice is inconsistent with this
  Court’s decision in Boodt v Borgess Medical Center, 481 Mich 558, 563-564 (2008).

         We further ORDER that this case be argued and submitted to the Court together
  with the cases of Bush v Shabahang, Docket Nos. 136617 and 136653. The parties may
  file supplemental briefs no later than November 12, 2008. They should not submit mere
  restatements of their application papers.

                           I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
                           October 17, 2008                    _________________________________________
