  BERNARD CLIFTON,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for miscellaneous relief is GRANTED. The
  application for leave to appeal the August 15, 2011 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, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
