ORDER
David Alexander (Defendant) appeals from the judgment entered following his jury conviction for first degree murder, section 565.020.1, RSMo 1994, and armed criminal action, section 571.015, RSMo 1994. In his point on appeal, Defendant contends the trial court erred in allowing the State to present evidence that he had shot Victim once before and had been convicted for that crime.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error of law. An extended opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
