  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the applications for leave to appeal the December 21, 2010
  judgment of the Court of Appeals are considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
  argument on whether to grant the applications or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1).
  At oral argument, the parties shall address: (1) whether the plaintiff’s injury “was a
  direct result of physical contact with equipment permanently mounted on the vehicle”
  within the meaning of MCL 500.3106(1)(b); (2) whether the plaintiff’s injury was
  sustained while “alighting from the vehicle” within the meaning of MCL 500.3106(1)(c);
  and (3) whether the plaintiff is entitled to attorney fees pursuant to MCL 500.3148(1).
  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.

                           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.
