Order

Gaylord D. Cade appeals following the denial of his Rule 24.035 1 motion for post-conviction relief. Cade raises one point on appeal: that counsel was ineffective by failing to adequately investigate and present expert testimony and evidence at sentencing regarding Cade's trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
