APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI HONORABLE WILLIAM W. ELY, JUDGE.

Before: Lowenstein, P.J., Ulrich, J. and Hanna, Sr. J.
ORDER
Tyrone Hill appeals the denial, without evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion, in which he claimed he was denied effective assistance of counsel. He was convicted of two counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of armed-criminal action, possession of a short-barreled shotgun and first-degree tampering. The motion alleged counsel was ineffective for failure to object to the verdict director on the shotgun count which did not contain the word knowingly. Affirmed. Rule 84.16 (b).
