  EPIGMENIO GOMEZ,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion to add issues is GRANTED. The application for
  leave to appeal the September 21, 2017 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).




                          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.
