  LONZO DOWTIN-EL,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 22, 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 evidentiary hearing, appointment of counsel, and miscellaneous relief are
  DENIED.

        KELLY, J., would grant leave to appeal to consider whether the Parole Board’s
  policy of “life means life” improperly converted the defendant’s sentence into a
  nonparolable life term.

                           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.
                           June 23, 2008                       _________________________________________
