ORDER
Deonte Taylor (Defendant) appeals from the trial court's judgment convicting him of three counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and one count of exposing another to HIV, after a jury trial. Defendant was sentenced to a total of fifty years in prison.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal and find the claims of error to be without merit. No error of law appears. An extended opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law applicable to this case would serve no jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
