ORDER
Tyrone Small ("movant") appeals the judgment of the motion court denying his motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 29.15 on the merits after an evidentiary hearing. In his motion, movant claims he was denied effective assistance of counsel when counsel failed to object to the admission of certain testimony at trial. Movant also argues that the motion court erred in denying his postconviction motion without taking the testimony of trial counsel at the evidentiary hearing.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error of law. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).
