  GERALD ALAN SHORT,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

         By order of July 3, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the September 12,
  2017 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People
  v Straughter (Docket No. 156198). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been
  denied in Straughter on July 19, 2019, 504 Mich 930 (2019), the application is again
  considered, and it is DENIED, because the defendant has failed to meet the burden of
  establishing entitlement to relief under MCR 6.508(D). The motion to supplement is
  GRANTED.




                           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.
