  BENNIE LEE ROCHELLE,

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 8, 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). The
  motions to remand and to appoint counsel are DENIED.




                            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.
