On order of the Court, the applications for leave to appeal the July 3, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-appellant are considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on the plaintiff's applications. MCR 7.305(H)(1).
The appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this order addressing whether the Court of Appeals clearly erred in its application of the principles of People v. Hana , 447 Mich. 325, 524 N.W.2d 682 (1994), to the defendants' motions for separate trials. 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 appellees shall file supplemental briefs within 21 days of being served with the appellant's brief. The appellees shall also electronically file appendices, 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 respective appellee's brief. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.
The total time allowed for oral argument shall be 40 minutes: 20 minutes for the appellant, and 20 minutes for the appellees, to be divided at their discretion. MCR 7.314(B)(2).
The application for leave to appeal as cross-appellant remains pending.
