Appellant. )

APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF PHELPS COUNTY Honorable John D. Beger, Judge AFFIRMED

Justin Giller appeals a felony conviction, challenging only the persistent- offender finding on a theory that Case.net proof of prior convictions 1 cannot be judicially noticed unless it is “presented either through the testimony of a sworn witness or through properly authenticated physical printouts.” He did not raise this objection at trial, now claims plain error, but shows no manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice. Rather, Giller: • acknowledges RSMo § 490.130, under which court records in a statewide court automated recordkeeping system established by our supreme court are admissible in our courts without further certification; 2 • does not dispute that § 490.130 covers Case.net records; and • does not deny his prior convictions or that Case.net shows them. Point denied. Judgment affirmed.

THE COURT: One moment. The information indicates that it occurred on or about October 20 of 2014. [PROSECUTOR]: Thank you, Your Honor…

THE COURT: All right. And your next case? [PROSECUTOR]: Your Honor, the next case number is 14TE-CR00790. And, Your Honor, we would --

THE COURT: In that case the Defendant is Justin P. Giller, date of birth 9/11 of ‘91, and it alleges or shows that he entered a -- an Alford plea to burglary in the second degree again on April 14 of 2015. I think both of those were before me. And the date of occurrence is alleged to have been October 16 of 2014. [PROSECUTOR]: Thank you, Your Honor. Based on those records, the State would ask for the Court the find that the Defendant is beyond a reasonable doubt a prior and persistent felony offender.
