  DAMOND SHAWN ARMSTRONG,

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the August 24, 2012 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.

        HATHAWAY, J., not participating.
