  FREDDIE DECARLO CHASE,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _____________________________________/

          By order of January 31, 2017, the application for leave to appeal the June 22, 2016
  order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
  Comer (Docket No. 152713). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on
  June 23, 2017, 500 Mich ___ (2017), the application is again 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 for appointment of an expert witness and to
  exclude hearsay statements are DENIED.

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




                            I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
