This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court. Opinion Missouri Court of Appeals Western District Case Style: Rodney Dwayne Gibson, Appellant, v. State of Missouri, Respondent. Case Number: No. 53179 Handdown Date: 08/26/1997 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Jackson County, Hon. K. Preston Dean Counsel for Appellant: Susan L. Hogan Counsel for Respondent: John M. Morris Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Berrey, P.J., Spinden and Smart, JJ., concur. Opinion: ORDER Rodney Dwayne Gibson appeals from the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief, after an evidentiary hearing. Gibson sought to vacate his conviction for rape, Section 566.030, RSMo 1994, for which he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Gibson contends that the motion court erred in denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post- conviction relief because plea counsel misled him, making him believe that he was pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit rape, which would have carried a lesser sentence. Because the findings of the motion court are supported by the record and are not clearly erroneous, we affirm. A published opinion would have no precedential value. A memorandum of the reasons for the decision has been furnished to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b). Separate Opinion: None
