Marqua v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided December 18, 2012 · Amburg, Crane, Hoff
388 S.W.3d 597; 2012 WL 6598223; 2012 Mo. App. LEXIS 1601 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Marqua v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Aaron Marqua (“Movant”) appeals from the judgment of the motion court denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Movant contends the motion court clearly erred in denying his post-conviction motion without an evidentiary hearing because his counsel was ineffective. Specifically, Mov-ant argues his counsel was ineffective for advising him to plead guilty without investigating and informing him of a lesser-included offense and for failing to investigate and obtain video recordings.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the motion court did not clearly err in denying Movant’s motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. An opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating principles of law would have no prece-dential value. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order.

The judgment is affirmed in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).
