Appeal from the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis; John J. Riley, Judge.
Ellen H. Flottman, Assistant State Public Defender, Columbia, MO, for Appellant.

ORDER
Sidney Dunlap (hereinafter, "Movant") appeals from the motion court's judgment denying his motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to Rule 29.15 after an evidentiary hearing on some of the claims in his post-conviction motion. Movant claims his trial counsel denied him effective assistance of counsel by failing to object to hearsay testimony and failing to call him to testify.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the motion court's decision was not clearly erroneous. Rule 29.15(k); Middleton v. State, 80 S.W.3d 799 (Mo. banc 2002). An opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law would have no precedential value. However, we have provided a memorandum opinion only for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision.
The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
