Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 2002-03-26

Relies on Watson v. Sanders

Decided 2002-03-26

¶1ORDER

PER CURIAM.

¶2Cedric Burton (“Movant”) appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. We previously affirmed Movant’s conviction for first-degree robbery in violation of section 569.020 RSMo 2000. State v. Burton, 4 S.W.3d 591 (Mo.App.1999). He now contends his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to investigate and call a potential alibi witness.

¶3Having reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal, we conclude the motion court did not clearly err. Rule 29.15(k). An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum opinion setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
