Hawkins v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided February 15, 2011 · Mitchell, Ellis, Howard
330 S.W.3d 874; 2011 Mo. App. LEXIS 161; 2011 WL 497947 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Hawkins v. State

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Michael Hawkins appeals the judgment of the motion court denying his Rule 29.15 motion for postconviction relief following an evidentiary hearing. He sought to vacate his conviction for delivery of a controlled substance, section 195.211, RSMo 2000, and sentence of ten years imprisonment. Hawkins claims that the motion court clearly erred in denying the motion because defense counsel was ineffective in failing to file a pretrial motion to suppress evidence based on an unlawful search and seizure conducted by the arresting officer and in failing to object to the same evidence when it was admitted during trial.

The judgment of the motion court is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
