Cook v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided May 14, 2002 · Breckenridge, Lowenstein, Smart
81 S.W.3d 595; 2002 Mo. App. LEXIS 1021; 2002 WL 976484 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Cook v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Kenneth J. Cook appeals from the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Cook was convicted of one count of kidnapping and three counts of armed-criminal action. In deciding his sole point, the Court of Appeals determined that the mov-ant is not entitled to relief for his counsel’s failure to investigate, interview and depose a prosecution witness, or in failing to move for a continuance after learning that the State intended to call that witness to testify at trial. The judgment of the motion court is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
