  DENZEL ARTHUR SIMMONS,

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 18, 2017 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.
