  RODNEY BARNETT WILLIAMSON,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 8, 2010
  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). The
  motion to remand is DENIED.

        ZAHRA, J., did not participate because he was on the Court of Appeals panel.




                          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.
