  RAYMOND CHARLES PIERSON,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

         On April 10, 2019, the Court heard oral argument on the application for leave to
  appeal the September 12, 2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court,
  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).




                           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.
