Thomas v. State

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Curtis Thomas (Movant) appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing.

Following a jury trial, Movant was convicted of first degree murder in violation of Section 565.020 RSMo Cum.Supp.1992, and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. This Court affirmed Movant’s conviction. State v. Thomas, 977 S.W.2d 29 (Mo.App. E.D.1998). After the mandate was issued in his direct appeal, Movant filed a motion for post-conviction relief. This appeal follows the denial of that motion.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal, and find the claims of error to be without merit. The motion court’s findings and conclusions are not clearly erroneous. Rule 29.15(k). No error of law appears. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).

The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for the order affirming the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
