ORDER

PER CURIAM: Joseph Sprofera was convicted of two counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree and one count of statutory sodomy in the second degree following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Clay County. After the affirmance of his convictions on direct appeal, Sprofera filed a motion for post-conviction relief under Supreme Court Rule 29.15. The circuit court denied relief following an evidentiary hearing. Sprofera appeals. He argues that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance when counsel failed to call two witnesses in Sprofera's defense. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties setting forth the reasons for this order. Rule 84.16(b).
