  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 29, 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: (1) whether the 91-day extension provided in MCL 600.2912d(3) for filing
  an affidavit of merit applies where the plaintiff claims that the defendants did not produce
  all medical records within 56 days after receipt of the notice of intent as required by MCL
  600.2912b(5); (2) whether the defendants were obligated, under MCL 600.2912b(5), to
  explain to the plaintiff that certain records could not be produced because they had been
  destroyed; and (3) whether billing records are medical records for purposes of MCL
  600.2912b(5). 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.
