ORDER

Lawrence Huffman appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Clay County that denied postconviction relief on his Rule 29.15 motion. On appeal, Huffman argues that the circuit court erred in denying his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on his counsel's advice regarding whether to plead guilty. The judgment is affirmed. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum has been provided to the parties. Rule 84.16(b).
