Before Sherri B. Sullivan, P.J., Lawrence G. Crahan, J., and Lawrence E. Mooney, J.

PER CURIAM.

ORDER

Appellant, Rodney Sharp, appeals the judgment denying his Rule 24.035¹ motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. He contends his plea attorney provided ineffective assistance by failing to investigate a motion to suppress. Having reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal, we conclude the motion court did not clearly err. Rule 24.035(k). An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum opinion setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Missouri Rule of Civil Procedure 84.16(b).
