Before ROY L. RICHTER, P.J., CLIFFORD H. AHRENS, J. and GLENN A. NORTON, J.

Prior report: 171 S.W.3d 768.

PER CURIAM.

Phillip Goodwin appeals the judgment denying his Rule 29.15[1] motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Goodwin argues that his trial counsel was ineffective in cross-examining three of the State's witnesses. The motion court's findings and conclusions are not clearly erroneous.

An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment of the motion court is affirmed under Rule 84.16(b).
