ORDER
John L. Gibson appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Lincoln County, after an evidentiary hearing, denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief. He claims that his plea to the charge of second-degree assault—which plea he entered pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford , 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160, 27 L.Ed.2d 162 (1970) and an agreement with the State—was unknowing and involuntary. We disagree and affirm.
The judgment of the motion court was not clearly erroneous. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
