SHELTON v. STATE (2024)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Tarique D. SHELTON, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 86281

Decided: October 29, 2024

Before Division Three: Thomas N. Chapman, Presiding Judge, Lisa White Hardwick, Judge, and Alok Ahuja, Judge

Jedd Schneider, Columbia, MO, counsel for Appellant. Dora Fichter, Jefferson City, MO, counsel for Respondent.

ORDER

Tarique Shelton appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Callaway County denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief following an evidentiary hearing. He contends that the motion court clearly erred in denying his motion because plea counsel was ineffective in failing to recognize and explain to him the implications of the victim's deposition on his trial defense and that he would not have pleaded guilty and would have proceeded to trial but for counsel's unclear explanation. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum explaining the reason for this decision is provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
