Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 131674
COA: 267176
Wayne CC: 76-000356
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.
