Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided November 1, 2016 · Ahuja, Howard, Welsh
503 S.W.3d 275; 2016 Mo. App. LEXIS 1111; 2016 WL 6440415 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Young v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

William Young Jr. appeals from the motion court’s denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for postconviction relief following an evidentiary hearing. Young sought to set aside his conviction for possession of a controlled substance and twelve-year sentence. He contends that his guilty plea was involuntary because counsel failed to advise him that the State would be required to prove not only that he possessed items containing minute amounts of cocaine base but also that he knew of the presence of the controlled substance. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum has been provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
