ORDER

Otis D. McKinney, Jr. appeals his conviction for assault in the first degree under § 565.050, RSMo (Count I), abuse of a child under § 568.060, RSMo (Count II), and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree under § 568.045, RSMo (Counts III and IV). On appeal, Mr. McKinney claims that the circuit court erred because there was insufficient evidence offered at trial to support his convictions on Counts I and III. Specifically, Mr. McKinney asserts that there was insufficient evidence offered at trial to support the allegation of Count III that he committed the class B felony of endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree as part of a “ritual or ceremony.” Mr. McKinney further alleges that his conviction for assault in the first degree must be reversed because there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that he “knowingly” caused serious physical injury to the Victim.

For the reasons set forth in the memorandum provided to the parties, we affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
