  JAMES ARLO TAYLOR,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 21, 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).

         MARILYN KELLY, J., would vacate the defendant’s sentence and remand this case
  for resentencing.




                           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.
