  CITY OF LIVONIA,
             Defendant-Appellee/Cross-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 28, 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: (1) whether 1939 PA 178, MCL 123.161 et seq., MCL 141.121(3), or any
  other statute authorized the method by which defendant sought to enforce collection of
  the disputed liens; and if there was statutory authority (2) whether defendant is prohibited
  from collecting the disputed liens because defendant failed to place them on the tax roll
  each year as required by Livonia Ordinance, § 13.08.300. The parties should not submit
  mere restatements of their application papers. The application for leave to appeal as
  cross-appellant remains pending.

                           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.
