State v. Hensley
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided June 28, 2011 · Richter, Romines, Thompson

State v. Hensley

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

James R. Hensley (Hensley) appeals the Judgment of the Circuit Court Jefferson County, the Honorable M. Edward Williams presiding. The trial court denied both Hensley’s motion for continuance to hire private counsel and motion for a continuance after he retained private counsel. A jury convicted Hensley of Robbery in the first degree. The trial court sentenced Hensley to a term of twenty years incarceration.

On appeal, Hensley contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion for continuance to hire private counsel and his motion for continuance after he retained private counsel so that counsel could properly prepare for and represent defendant at his trial. We have reviewed the briefs and the Record on Appeal, and find no error of law in this case. Thus, a written opinion would have no precedential value. The parties have been provided with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order. The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).

AFFIRMED.
