Order

PER CURIAM:

Eugene L. Coody appeals from the judgment of the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri ("motion court") denying, after evidentiary hearing, his motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 29.15. Coody claims that the motion court erred in refusing to grant his motion because he successfully established that his trial counsel was ineffective in that she failed to call an alibi witness at his trial. We affirm the judgment of the motion court. Rule 84.16(b).
