SHAUNTE JOHNSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
BEST BUY COMPANY, INC.,
Defendant-Appellee.
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December
5, 2025 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule
oral argument on the application. MCR 7.305(I)(1). The parties shall file supplemental
briefs in accordance with MCR 7.312(E), addressing: (1) whether the adhesion contract
analysis in Rayford v American House Roseville I, LLC, ___ Mich ___ (July 31,
2025) (Docket No. 163989), applies to determine the enforceability of the arbitration
policy at issue; and (2) if so, whether the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC 1 et seq., preempts
the application of Rayford to the facts of this case. The motion for immediate
consideration is DENIED.
The Business Law and Labor and Employment Law Sections of the State Bar of
Michigan, Michigan Association for Justice, Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and
Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Inc., are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other
persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case who
are not exempt from the motion requirement under MCR 7.312(H) may move the Court
for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
