Order
PER CURIAM
Appellant Willie Ivy appeals the judgment denying his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Ivy was convicted following a jury trial of four counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, two counts of second-degree statutory rape, two counts of first-degree child molestation, and one count of second-degree child molestation for which he was sentenced to an aggregate of twenty-three years in prison.
On appeal, Ivy alleges that the motion court erred in denying his motion without an evidentiary hearing because he pled facts not refuted by the record showing that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to depose four of the State's key witnesses in the case against him.
We agree with the motion court's judgment and the findings of fact and conclusions of law therein. Affirmed.
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) (2018).
