ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Dwayne Else appeals the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion after an evidentiary hearing. Else contends that the motion court erred in denying his motion because his plea counsel failed to file and litigate a motion to suppress a coerced confession. Else claims that plea counsel's failure to move to suppress his confession was unreasonable and prejudiced him by rendering his pleas involuntary. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
