February 17, 2009.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cape Girardeau County, William S. Syler, Judge.
Christopher A. Koster, Shaun J. MacKelprang, Jefferson City, MO, for Plaintiff/Respondent.

Before ROBERT G. DOWD, JR., P.J., CLIFFORD H. AHRENS, J. and SHERRI B. SULLIVAN, J.
ORDER
Samuel C. Taylor (Appellant) appeals from the trial court's judgment entered upon a jury verdict convicting him of one count of forcible rape, Section 566.030 RSMo 2000, and sentencing him to twenty-five years' imprisonment. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and conclude that there was sufficient evidence that a reasonable juror could have found Appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision to the parties for their use only. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Missouri Rule of Criminal Procedure 30.25(b).
