Decided November 25, 1997

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 1997-11-25

Decided 1997-11-25

¶1ORDER

PER CURIAM.

¶2Defendant appeals from the judgment entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of illegal possession of a controlled substance, in violation of section 195.202 RSMo 1994, on which he was sentenced as a prior and persistent offender to fifteen years imprisonment. Defendant also appeals from a judgment denying, after an evidentiary hearing, his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief.

¶3As to the direct appeal, no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).

¶4As to the post-conviction appeal, the judgment of the motion court is based on findings of fact and conclusions of law that are not clearly erroneous. A written opinion would have no precedential value. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).

¶5However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order.
