  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 26, 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 whether the trial court erred in awarding attorney fees following a
  postjudgment hearing rather than submitting the attorney fee issue to the jury. The
  parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.

          The Michigan Association for Justice, Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Inc., and
  the Negligence Section of the State Bar of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus
  curiae. Other 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
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
