Simms v. State

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Movant, Locust K. Simms, Jr., appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 24.035 motion after an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, movant argues that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance by coercing him into entering an Alford plea to domestic assault in the second degree and armed criminal action.

The motion court’s findings and conclusions are not clearly erroneous. Rule 24.035(k). An extended opinion would have no precedential value. The parties have been provided with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this decision. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
