_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 1, 2008
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
argument on November 19, 2008, at 9:30 a.m., on whether to grant the application or take
other peremptory action. MCR 7.302(G)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address
whether that portion of the Court of Appeals judgment holding that the direct liability
claims against defendants West Michigan Cardiovascular Surgeons and Spectrum Health
Butterworth Campus should be dismissed without prejudice is inconsistent with this
Court’s decision in Boodt v Borgess Medical Center, 481 Mich 558, 563-564 (2008).
We further ORDER that this case be argued and submitted to the Court together
with the cases of Bush v Shabahang, Docket Nos. 136617 and 136653. The parties may
file supplemental briefs no later than November 12, 2008. They should not submit mere
restatements of their application papers.
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.
