Williams v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided June 7, 2011 · Norton, Crane
341 S.W.3d 916; 2011 Mo. App. LEXIS 776; 2011 WL 2201026 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Williams v. State

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Rodney Williams (hereinafter, “Mov-ant”) appeals the denial of his Rule 24.035 post-conviction motion without an eviden-tiary hearing. Movant pleaded guilty to one count of burglary in the second degree, Section 569.170 RSMo (2000), and one count of felony stealing, Section 570.030 RSMo (2000). Movant was sentenced to a term of seven years’ imprisonment on each count, to run concurrently. Movant raises one point on appeal, claiming his plea was rendered involuntary when defense counsel promised him he would receive probation in exchange for pleading guilty.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file and transcript, and find the motion court’s decision was not clearly erroneous. Rule 24.035(k). An opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law would have no prece-dential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion, for the use of the parties only, setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
