  MENARD, INC.,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 15, 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
  including, among the issues to be briefed, whether the crosswalk installed by the
  defendant had a special aspect that could create liability for even an open and obvious
  hazard, and whether such a special aspect can exist if the condition is not unreasonably
  dangerous. See Hoffner v Lanctoe, 492 Mich. 450, 455 (2012); Lugo v Ameritech Corp,
  Inc, 464 Mich. 512, 517 (2001). 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.
