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: State of Missouri, Respondent, v. W.M. Giltner, Appellant. Case Number: 52900 Handdown Date: 10/28/1997 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Lafayette County, Hon. Robert H. Ravenhill Counsel for Appellant: Floyd A. White Counsel for Respondent: Philip M. Koppe Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Howard, P.J., Breckenridge and Hanna, JJ. Opinion: O R D E R W.M. Giltner appeals from his jury conviction of trafficking drugs in the second degree, a class A felony under section 195.223.2(2), RSMo 1994. The trial court sentenced Mr. Giltner to a thirty-year term of imprisonment, in accordance with the jury's recommendation. On appeal, Mr. Giltner contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the cocaine discovered in his vehicle because its discovery was the result of an unconstitutional pretextual search. As his second point on appeal, Mr. Giltner alleges that the trial court erred in submitting a jury instruction of trafficking in cocaine salts because he was charged with trafficking in cocaine base. Finally, Mr. Giltner contests the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction because there was no evidence that he possessed cocaine base. None of Mr. Giltner's points are meritorious and a published opinion would have no jurisprudential value.

Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Rule 30.25(b). Separate Opinion: None This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court.
