ORDER
Per Curiam:
Joshua R. Urban appeals the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief following an evidentiary hearing. He contends that the motion court clearly erred in denying his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, arguing that trial counsel prejudicially failed to object to the State's voir dire or move for a mistrial after the voir dire devolved into a lengthy discussion during which venirepersons blamed Urban for the requirement that the child victim testify in open court. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
