  DWAYNE EDMUND WILSON,
          Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 10, 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 MCL 750.227b(1) of the felony-firearm statute requires two
  prior convictions under this subsection to have arisen from separate criminal incidents in
  order for a third conviction under the subsection to trigger the 10-year imprisonment
  penalty; and, if not (2) whether this Court should overrule People v Stewart, 441 Mich 89
  (1992), which, in holding that the two prior convictions must have arisen from separate
  criminal incidents, relied upon People v Preuss, 436 Mich 714 (1990), the reasoning of
  which was overruled by People v Gardner, 482 Mich 41 (2008). 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.
