Simmons v. State

Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Division Three
Sep 6, 1983
657 S.W.2d 958 (Mo. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

No. 46137.

September 6, 1983.

APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT, CITY OF ST. LOUIS, JACK L. KOEHR, J.

Robert A. Hampe, St. Louis, for appellant.

Kristie Lynne Green, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jefferson City, for respondent.


Movant appeals the trial court's denial of his Rule 27.26 motion without an evidentiary hearing. He was convicted by a jury of second degree murder, § 565.004, RSMo 1978, and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. See, State v. Simmons, 602 S.W.2d 13 (Mo.App. 1980).

Movant's sole point of error on appeal reads as follows: "The court erred in overruling movant's motion to vacate in that claims raised in the motion stated facts which, if proven, would have entitled movant to relief thereby requiring an evidentiary hearing." We find this Point Relied On indistinguishable from the Point Relied On in Jones v. State, 625 S.W.2d 702 (Mo.App. 1981). Since the point does not specify wherein and why the trial court erred, nothing has been preserved for review. Rule 84.04(d).

Our review of the record leads us to conclude the trial court's denial of the Rule 27.26 motion without an evidentiary hearing did not result in manifest injustice or a miscarriage of justice.

Judgment affirmed.

CRANDALL, P.J., and REINHARD, J., concur.
