State of Missouri, Respondent Case Number: 54298 Handdown Date: 03/17/1998 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Cole County, Hon. Thomas J. Brown, III Counsel for Appellant: Gary E. Brotherton Counsel for Respondent: John M. Morris Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Ellis, P.J., Howard and Riederer, J.J., concur. Opinion: ORDER Appellant, Charles McBride, filed a Rule 24.035 motion to vacate his plea of guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of forgery. He asserted that his plea attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to get complete discovery before advising Appellant to plead guilty. The motion court denied Appellant's motion, finding that Appellant failed to show that further discovery would have produced information that would induce him to reject the plea agreement. Having carefully considered the contentions on appeal, we conclude the judgment should be affirmed. A published opinion would lack precedential value. A memorandum as to the reasons for our decision has been furnished to the parties. Rule Judgment affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
