Sydney E. JONES, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.
ORDER
Sydney Jones appeals the denial of her Rule 29.15 motion after she was convicted of child abuse resulting in the death of her six-month-old son. She contends the motion court erred in denying, after an evidentiary hearing, her claims that counsel was ineffective for failing to pursue a diminished capacity defense. Upon review of the briefs and the record, we find no error and affirm the post-conviction judgment. We have provided the parties with a Memorandum explaining the reasons for our decision, because a published opinion would have no precedential value.
AFFIRMED. Rule 84.16(b).
