Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 27, 2019
Travis Clunie vs. State of Missouri
Travis Clunie appealed the denial of his motion for post-conviction relief, arguing the motion court erred by finding him indigent but denying his Rule 29.15(b) motion without appointing counsel. The appellate court agreed, holding that Rule 29.15(e) mandates the appointment of counsel for indigent pro se movants. The judgment was reversed, and the case was remanded with instructions to appoint counsel for Clunie.
