  _________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 28, 2020
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
  argument on the application. MCR 7.305(H)(1).

          The appellant shall file a supplemental brief addressing whether private-figure
  plaintiffs must prove malice to establish the tort of false light invasion of privacy. The
  appellant’s brief shall be filed by August 30, 2021, with no extensions except upon a
  showing of good cause. In the brief, citations to the record must provide the appendix
  page numbers as required by MCR 7.312(B)(1). The appellees shall file a supplemental
  brief within 21 days of being served with the appellant’s brief. A reply, if any, must be
  filed by the appellant within 14 days of being served with the appellees’ brief. The
  parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.

       Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case
  may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

                           I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
