             Defendants.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 3, 2012
  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). At
  oral argument, the parties shall address whether: (1) the plaintiff’s no contest plea to
  resisting arrest bars her remaining claims pursuant to Heck v Humphrey, 512 US 477, 487
  (1994); (2) accepting the plaintiff’s version of events, defendant Seth Lewis nevertheless
  acted reasonably, as a matter of law, under all of the circumstances; and (3) the defendant
  is entitled to governmental immunity for the plaintiff’s remaining claims. The parties
  may file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order.

                           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.
                           December 7, 2012                    _________________________________________
