Judges
The motion to extend time to file an answer to the application is GRANTED, and the
answer filed on June 3, 2026, by defendant Progressive Marathon Insurance Company, is accepted. We
note that pursuant to IOP 7.205(C)-1, the Clerk’s Office accepts late answers to applications for leave to
appeal without a motion, and so the late answer filed by defendant Michigan Automobile Insurance
Placement Facility on June 22, 2026, is also accepted for filing, even though that party did not file a motion
requesting an extension of time.
The motion to extend time to file a reply brief is GRANTED, and the reply filed July 8,
2026, is accepted.
The application for leave to appeal is GRANTED. The time for taking further steps in this
appeal runs from the date of the Clerk’s certification of this order. MCR 7.205(E)(3). This appeal is
limited to the issues raised in the application and supporting brief. MCR 7.205(E)(4).
On the Court’s own motion pursuant to MCR 7.216(A)(7), this case is CONSOLIDATED
with the applications filed in Docket No. 378288, Hindi v State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company, and Docket No. 378934, Armoosh v State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company.
