On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 23, 2019
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
argument on the application. MCR 7.305(H)(1).
The appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this
order addressing whether the arresting deputy made an objectively reasonable mistake of

vehicle. See Heien v North Carolina, 574 U.S. 54 (2014). In addition to the brief, the
appellant shall electronically file an appendix conforming to MCR 7.312(D)(2). In the
brief, citations to the record must provide the appendix page numbers as required by
MCR 7.312(B)(1). The appellee shall file a supplemental brief within 21 days of being
served with the appellant’s brief. The appellee shall also electronically file an appendix,
or in the alternative, stipulate to the use of the appendix filed by the appellant. A reply, if
any, must be filed by the appellant within 14 days of being served with the appellee’s
brief. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and the Prosecuting Attorneys
