  CLIFFORD DOWDELL,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 23, 2005
  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 to remand and for resentencing are DENIED.

        CAVANAGH, J., would grant leave to appeal.

        KELLY, J., would grant leave to appeal for the reasons set forth in her dissenting
  statement in People v Houlihan, 480 Mich 1165 (2008).




                            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.
