Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided May 24, 2011 · Pfeiffer, Newton, Ahuja

Nickens v. State

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Donald Nickens was convicted of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Chris Byers. Nickens moved for post-conviction relief under Supreme Court Rule 29.15, alleging that his counsel was ineffective because he failed to call a particular witness in Nickens’ defense. The circuit court denied relief following an evidentiary hearing. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, an unpublished memorandum setting forth the reasons for this order has been provided to the parties. Rule 84.16(b).
