  WILLIE EARL BANKSTON,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to add new grounds for consideration is
  GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the December 11, 2014 order of the
  Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because the defendant has failed to
  meet the burden of establishing entitlement to relief under MCR 6.508(D).




                          I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
