Last week, the Michigan Supreme Court heard oral argument in the case of Yono v. Michigan Department of Transportation, Supreme Court Docket No. 146603.
I recently filed a supplemental amicus curiae brief on behalf of Oakland County Road Commission, Wayne County and Macomb County Department of Roads, which you can read here: 146603SuppAmicusCMDR.
I had previously written an amicus brief in support of the state’s application urging the Court to take up the case.
Below are my previous posts about this case, in which I originally correctly noted the Court of Appeals opinion would likely be subject to further appellate review.
