APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF JACKSON COUNTY, THE HONORABLE DAVID W. SHINN, JUDGE
Susan L. Hogan, Appellate Defender, Kansas City, MO for Appellant
John M. Morris, III, Jefferson City, MO for Respondent
Before Ronald R. Holliger, P.J., Patricia Breckenridge and James M. Smart, Jr., JJ.
Appellant Deandre Roddy appeals the Jackson County Circuit Court's denial of his Rule 29.15 post-conviction relief motion, which he based on the contention that he was denied effective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel denied him the right to testify in his own defense at trial. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
