2. “Appellate review of an order overruling a Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief is limited to a determination of whether the motion court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law are clearly erroneous. Rule 24.035(k); Jenkins v. State, 9 S.W.3d 705, 707 (Mo.App.1999).

State, 988 S.W.2d 556, 558 (Mo.App.1999).”
