  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 16, 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).
  The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
  addressing whether: (1) the determination of reasonable attorney fees under MCL
  500.3148(1) is governed by Smith v Khouri, 481 Mich. 519 (2008), and/or Wood v DAIIE,
  413 Mich. 573 (1982), and (2) the Oakland Circuit Court abused its discretion in
  calculating the attorney fees due the plaintiff. 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.
