Opinion
No. ED 78477
June 12, 2001
Appeal from the Circuit Court of St. Louis City. Honorable Evelyn M. Baker.
Gwenda R. Robinson, 1221 Locust Street, Suite 350, St. Louis, MO 63103, for appellants.
Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon, Attorney General, Richard A. Starnes, P.O. Box 899, Jefferson City, MO 65102, for respondent.
ORDER
Appellant, Emmanuel Davis, appeals the judgment denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief. He contends his guilty plea was involuntary because his trial attorney provided ineffective assistance by misinforming him about the percent of his sentence he would have to serve before becoming eligible for parole. 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 Rule 84.16(b).
All Rule references are to the Missouri Court Rules (2001).
