Belger appeals from the judgment entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of three counts of robbery in the first degree, Section 569.020, two counts of armed criminal action, Section 571.015, three counts of felony stealing, Section 570.030, and one count of fraudulent use of a credit device, Section 570.130 for acts arising out of a series of thefts and robberies over a six day period.

Defendant also appeals from the judgment denying on the merits, after an evidentiary hearing, the claims in his Rule 29.15 motion. The motion court's judgment is based on findings of fact that are not clearly erroneous. No error of law appears and 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 judgments are affirmed in accordance with Rules 30.25(b) and 84.16(b). Separate Opinion: None This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court.
