ORDER
PER CURIAM
Reno L. Whitt, Jr. ("Defendant") appeals from the Judgment upon his conviction following retrial before a jury for murder in the second degree in violation of Section 565.021 RSMo 2000. Defendant was sentenced to 30 years of imprisonment, running concurrently with the concurrent seven and fifteen year sentences he received after the initial jury trial, wherein Defendant was convicted of one count of resisting arrest in violation of Section 575.150 and three counts of tampering in the first degree in violation of Section 569.080. We affirm.
Unless otherwise indicated, all further statutory references are to RSMo 2000 as amended.
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. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
