People v. Provience

721 N.W.2d 797, 477 Mich. 882

Opinion

721 N.W.2d 797 (2006)

PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Dwayne PROVIENCE, Defendant-Appellant.

Docket No. 130637. COA No. 263488.

Supreme Court of Michigan.

October 6, 2006.

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 9, 2006 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 for the appointment of counsel and for an evidentiary hearing are DENIED. The denial of the motion for an evidentiary hearing is without prejudice to the defendant's ability to seek similar relief in the trial court in a successive motion for relief from judgment, filed pursuant to MCR 6.502(G)(2).

WEAVER, J., concurs in the decision to deny leave to appeal.

MARILYN J. KELLY, J., would remand this case for resentencing.
