MARCHBANKS v. STATE (2023)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Dominique MARCHBANKS, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 85560

Decided: September 26, 2023

Before Division Two: W. Douglas Thomson, Presiding Judge, Thomas N. Chapman, Judge, and Janet Sutton, Judge

Annette Wallace, Kansas City, MO counsel for appellant. Damien de Loyola, Kansas City, MO co-counsel for appellant. Gregory Barnes, Jefferson City, MO counsel for respondent.

ORDER

Dominique Marchbanks appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Jackson County denying his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief following an evidentiary hearing. In his sole point on appeal, he contends that he was denied effective assistance of counsel when his trial counsel failed to lodge an objection directed at the assistant prosecutor assigned to the case based on him having a conflict of interest. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum explaining the reasons for the decision is provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
