Ellis v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided March 12, 2019
570 S.W.3d 165 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Ellis v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam

Casey Ellis appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 24.035 motion after he pled guilty to second-degree murder, armed criminal action, first-degree burglary, and attempted possession of a controlled substance. Ellis contends the motion court clearly erred in rejecting the claim that his plea counsel was ineffective for failing to inform him of the 85% minimum term on the second-degree murder charge. Upon review of the briefs and the record, we find no error and affirm the judgment. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided the parties with a Memorandum explaining the reasons for our decision.

AFFIRMED. Rule 84.16(b)
