Smith v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided June 12, 2007 · Ahrens, Baker, Hoff

Smith v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Jessie Smith (“movant”) appeals the judgment of the motion court denying his request for post-conviction relief pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 24.035 after an evidentiary hearing. Movant argues that he was denied effective assistance of counsel because counsel failed to inform him he was pleading guilty as a prior and persistent offender. Movant also claims counsel was ineffective for making certain promises regarding mov-ant’s sentences.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error of law. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).
