APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY, HON. DAVID LEE VINCENT.

ORDER
Randolph North appeals from a judgment of the circuit court after the court denied him a third continuance. North alleges that the court abused its discretion because his counsel fell ill prior to trial and he lacked sufficient time to procure a substitute.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error of law. An extended opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose. The judgment is affirmed in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).
