  _________________________________________/

        By order of February 5, 2016, the parties were directed to file supplemental briefs
  addressing whether the plaintiffs’ claims are barred by the exclusive remedy provision of
  the Worker’s Disability Compensation Act (WDCA). On order of the Court, the
  supplemental briefs having been received, the application for leave to appeal the May 7,
  2015 judgment of the Court of Appeals is again considered and, pursuant to MCR
  7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court
  of Appeals and we REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for the court to
  consider whether it has subject matter jurisdiction to hear the plaintiffs’ claims pursuant
  to MCL 418.131(1) and MCL 418.827(1).

                           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.
