The appellant shall file a supplemental brief within 42 days of the date of this

against him on direct appeal; (2) the Court of Appeals failed to defer to the Wayne
Circuit Court’s credibility determinations; and (3) the defendant has established
entitlement to relief under MCR 6.508(D). In addition to the brief, the appellant shall
electronically file an appendix containing the items listed at MCR 7.312(D)(2). The
appellee shall file a supplemental brief within 21 days of being served with the
