Case Number: 69498 Handdown Date: 12/09/1997 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Lincoln County, Hon. Ralph Jaynes Counsel for Appellant: Nancy L. Vincent Counsel for Respondent: John M. Morris, III, and David R. Truman Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Reinhard, P.J., Ahrens and Rhodes Russell, J.J., concur. Opinion: ORDER Defendant appeals after his conviction by a jury for two counts of rape, section 566.030, RSMo Supp. 1993. The trial court sentenced him, in accordance with the jury's recommendation, to consecutive terms of life imprisonment on each count. Defendant also appeals from the denial 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: None
