Opinion Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District Case Style: State of Missouri, Plaintiff/Respondent, v. Eugene Dokes a/k/a Eugene Newsome, Defendant/Appellant. Case Number: Nos. 68387/70972 Handdown Date: 06/03/1997 Appeal From: Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Hon. Edward M. Peek Counsel for Appellant: Counsel for Respondent: Opinion Summary: Citation: Opinion Author: Per Curiam Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Before Dowd, Jr., P.J., Reinhard, J., and Gaertner, J. Opinion:

O R D E R Defendant appeals after his conviction by a jury of one count of second degree assault, section 565.060, RSMo Supp. 1993. The court sentenced him as a prior and persistent offender to a prison term of fifteen years. Defendant failed to address any points on appeal to his direct appeal. Therefore, that appeal is considered abandoned. State v. Brooks, 916 S.W.2d 454, 455 (Mo. App. E.D. 1996). Defendant also appeals the denial, without an evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. We affirm. We have reviewed the record and find the claims of error are without merit; the judgment of the motion court is based on findings of fact that are not clearly erroneous. An opinion would have no precedential value nor serve any

jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order affirming the judgment pursuant to Rules 30.25(b) and 84.16(b). Separate Opinion: This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court.
