APPEAL FROM: CIRCUIT COURT OF THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS, HON. FLOYD McBRIDE, JUDGE.
John Munson Morris, III, Karen L. Kramer, Assistant Attorney General, P.O. Box 899, Jefferson City, MO 65102, for respondent.
Jason S. Marks, Assistant Public Defender, 1221 Locust Street, Suite 350, St. Louis, MO 63103, for appellant.

ORDER
Defendant appeals from the judgment entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of one count of murder in the first degree, in violation of Section 565.020 RSMo (1994), and one count of armed criminal action, in violation of Section 571.015 (1994). The trial court found defendant to be a prior and persistent offender and sentenced him to life imprisonment without eligibility for probation and parole on the murder count and thirty years imprisonment on the armed criminal action count, to be served concurrently.
No error of law appears and no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order.
The judgment is affirmed in accordance with Rule 30.25(b).
