Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
Mark A. Grothoff, Columbia, MO, for appellant.
Shaun J. Mackelprang and Robert Bartholomew, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent.
Before: MARK D. PFEIFFER, P.J., and THOMAS H. NEWTON and ALOK AHUJA, JJ.
PER CURIAM:
Donald Nickens was convicted of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Chris Byers. Nickens moved for post-conviction relief under Supreme Court Rule 29.15, alleging that his counsel was ineffective because he failed to call a particular witness in Nickens' defense. The circuit court denied relief following an evidentiary hearing. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, an unpublished memorandum setting forth the reasons for this order has been provided to the parties. Rule 84.16(b).
