  ALPHONSO L. STRAUGHTER, JR.,
             Defendant-Appellee.
  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Chief Justice, the motion of James Dayson to file a brief amicus
  curiae in support of the defendant-appellee is DENIED because it fails to address the issues
  identified by the Court in its December 27, 2017 order directing oral argument on the
  application. The motion to extend the time for filing such brief is DENIED as moot.




                           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.
