Pope v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided December 16, 2003 · Cohen, Crahan, Shaw
122 S.W.3d 713; 2003 Mo. App. LEXIS 1938; 2003 WL 22951949 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Pope v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM

Vincent Pope (“Movant”) was convicted of murder in the second degree and armed criminal action. Movant was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment on the murder charge and a consecutive term of six years imprisonment on the armed criminal action charge. Movant filed a direct appeal and this Court affirmed Movant’s convictions. State v. Pope, 66 S.W.3d 124 (Mo.App.E.D. 2001). Movant now appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentia-ry hearing.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the motion court’s decision was not clearly erroneous. Helmig v. State, 42 S.W.3d 658, 665-66 (Mo.App. E.D. 2001). An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion only for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision.

We affirm the award pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
