STATE v. BARTEL (2024)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Tracy M. BARTEL, Appellant.

WD 86019

Decided: June 25, 2024

Before Division Two: Thomas N. Chapman, Presiding Judge, Karen King Mitchell, Judge, and W. Douglas Thomson, Judge

Christian Lehmberg, Columbia, MO counsel for Appellant. Justin Davis, Jefferson City, MO counsel for Respondent.

ORDER

Tracy Bartel appeals the judgment imposing her sentences for two counts of possession of a controlled substance. In her sole point on appeal, she contends that the trial court plainly erred in failing to issue a curative instruction or order a mistrial during the prosecutor's closing argument in the penalty phase of the trial. Because a published opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose, a memorandum explaining the reasons for the decision is provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
