Vann v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided March 8, 2011 · Odenwald, Dowd, Schneider
332 S.W.3d 933; 2011 Mo. App. LEXIS 270; 2011 WL 794905 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Vann v. State

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Terrence Vann (“Movant”) appeals the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Movant asserts the motion court clearly erred in denying his motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentia-ry hearing because (1) he was not permitted to withdraw his guilty pleas after he revealed his decision to plead guilty was based on the understanding he could withdraw those pleas at any time before sentencing, and (2) plea counsel was ineffective for pressuring Movant into pleading guilty because she was afraid to try the case.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal. We find no error of law. The motion court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law are not clearly erroneous. Rule 24.035(k). 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 motion court is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
