Opinion Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District Case Style: State of Missouri, Plaintiff/Respondent, v. Cedric Jackson, Defendant/Appellant. Cedric Jackson, Movant/Appellant, v. State of Missouri, Respondent/Respondent. Case Number: 68646 and 71595 Handdown Date: 12/30/1997 Appeal From: Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Hon. Harry J. Stussie, Jr. Counsel for Appellant: Dorothy M. Hirzy Counsel for Respondent: Meghan J. Stephens Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: Grimm, P.J., Pudlowski and Gaertner, J.J., concur. Opinion: ORDER A jury found defendant guilty of two counts of first degree robbery, section 569.020 RSMo 1994. The trial court imposed consecutive sentences of ten and twelve years. Defendant filed a Rule 29.15 motion, which the motion court denied after an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, defendant raises three points. One point alleges the trial court committed plain error in failing to correct statements made by the prosecuting attorney. The other two allege the motion court erred in denying him relief because his attorney was ineffective (1) for failure to properly interview an alibi witness and (2) for failure to investigate other possible exculpatory information. We affirm. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order. The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
