STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS REID COWAN, UNPUBLISHED May 22, 2018 Plaintiff-Appellant, v No. 339618 Court of Claims STATE OF MICHIGAN, DEPARTMENT OF LC No. 17-000091-MM CORRECTIONS, and EDWARD BARBER Defendants-Appellees. Before: SHAPIRO, P.J., and M.J. KELLY and O’BRIEN, JJ. O’BRIEN, J. (concurring in part and dissenting in part). I agree with the majority that plaintiff’s state law claims should be dismissed for failure to provide timely notice as required by MCL 600.6431. However, I disagree that it is appropriate to remand plaintiff’s federal constitutional claim based on Felder v Casey,487 U.S. 131
;108 S. Ct. 2302
;101 L. Ed. 2d 123
(1988). Plaintiff did not raise this argument at trial or on appeal. Therefore, I would adhere to the general “raise or waive” rule and hold that plaintiff waived this issue by failing to raise it. Walters v Nadell,481 Mich. 377
