ORDER
Per Curiam:
Alfredo J. Campos-Larios appeals the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief following an evidentiary hearing. He contends that the motion court clearly erred in denying his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, arguing that trial counsel failed to adequately advise him about the likelihood of conviction due to the strength of the State's case, as well as the substantial risk of receiving a harsher sentence if he went to trial. Campos-Larios contends that, had trial counsel done so, he would have accepted the State's plea offer and received a more lenient sentence. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
