_________________________________________/

       On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 16, 2019
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
address whether a self-insured vehicle owner is subject to the priority provision in the
former MCL 500.3114(4)(a) as “[t]he insurer of the owner or registrant of the vehicle
occupied” if the self-insured entity’s vehicle involved in the accident was not subject to
the security provisions of the no-fault act because it was registered in another state, did
not need to be registered in this state, and was not operated in this state for more than 30
days during the applicable year. The time allowed for oral argument shall be 20 minutes
for each side. MCR 7.314(B)(1).

      Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues 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.
