ORDER
Per curiam: Willie J. Gibson, Jr. ("Gibson") appeals from the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion, which claimed ineffective assistance of counsel because trial counsel failed to object on the grounds of insufficient authentication when the State moved to admit a letter purportedly written by him to a co-defendant. Because the motion court did not clearly err when it concluded that Gibson did not sustain his burden to show that he was prejudiced by the absence of an objection, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
