APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY, HON. BARBARA W. WALLACE.
Douglas Robert Hoff, Law office of Public Defender, 1221 Locust Suite 350, St. Louis, MO 63103, for Appellant.
John Morris III, Law office of Attorney General, P.O. Box 899 Jefferson City, MO 65102, for Respondent.
Before Lawrence E. Mooney, P.J., Paul J. Simon, J., and Sherri B. Sullivan, J.
David Skaggs ("Movant") appeals from a judgment denying without an evidentiary hearing his motion for post-conviction relief filed under Rule 29.15. Movant claims ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and conclude that the motion court's judgment is not clearly erroneous. Rule 29.15(k). An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion setting forth the reasons for our decision to the parties for their use only. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Missouri Rule of Civil Procedure 84.16(b).
