_________________________________________

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 14, 2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-appellants are considered. The application for leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on the application for leave to appeal as cross- appellants. MCR 7.305(H)(1).

The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order addressing the period of time for which garnishee-defendant Empire Fire and Marine Insurance Company, as the Drielick defendants’ insurer, is liable for the payment of 4

judgment interest pursuant to MCL 600.6013 or any postjudgment interest, and the proper method of calculation, see Matich v Modern Research Corp, 430 Mich 1 (1988).

In addition, the cross-appellants 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). Each party may file a response brief within 14 days of being served with the other party’s initial supplemental brief. Additionally, at this time, the cross-appellees shall electronically file an appendix, or in the alternative, stipulate to the use of the appendix filed by the cross-appellants. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.

Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

CAVANAGH, J., not participating due to her prior relationship with Garan Lucow Miller, P.C.
