  _________________________________________/

           On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 13, 2016
  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 whether Ladies Literary Club v Grand Rapids, 409 Mich. 748 (1980), and
  David Walcott Kendall Memorial School v Grand Rapids, 11 Mich. App. 231 (1968),
  continue to provide the appropriate test of what constitutes a “nonprofit . . . educational
  . . . institution[]” under MCL 211.7n. The parties should not submit mere restatements of
  their application papers.

        Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this
