Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided January 30, 1973
491 S.W.2d 28 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Binkley v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from the judgment of the Circuit Court of Butler County, Missouri, denying appellant’s motion to vacate his ten-year sentence for manslaughter under Rule 27.26, V.A.M.R.

The trial court ruled adversely to appellant’s contentions that his guilty plea was *29induced by a promise of probation from the sheriff, and, ineffective assistance of counsel.

We have reviewed and carefully examined the transcript of the evidentiary hearing conducted by the trial court, including a transcript of the record of the appellant’s guilty plea, and conclude that the judgment is based on findings of fact which are not clearly erroneous; that no error of law appears; that an opinion would have no precedential value.

We affirm the judgment under Rule 84.-16, V.A.M.R.

All concur.
