MICHAEL DEMOND LAWSON,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 13, 2020
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. This order is
without prejudice to the defendant’s ability to file a motion for relief from judgment
pursuant to MCR 6.501 et seq. that may include any claim of actual innocence or newly
discovered evidence.
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.
