Before Division Three: Lisa White Hardwick, Presiding Judge, Gary D. Witt, and Edward R. Ardini, Jr., Judges
ORDER
Per Curiam
Following a bench trial, Eli Grier appeals from his convictions for second-degree rape, sexual misconduct with a child less than 15 years of age, two counts of first-degree child molestation, and two counts of second-degree sodomy. Grier contends the circuit court plainly erred in failing to "demonstrate with unmistakable clarity that [he] knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to a trial by jury." Upon review of the briefs and the record, we find no error and affirm the convictions. We have provided the parties with a Memorandum explaining the reasons for our decision because a published opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose.
AFFIRMED. Rule 30.25(b)
