STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent, v. MICHELLE LEE SMITH, Appellant.
O R D E R
Michelle Smith appeals her conviction following a jury trial for endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree, section 568.045, RSMo Cum.Supp.2009, and sentence of three years imprisonment. In her sole point on appeal, she contends that the trial court erred in overruling her motion to suppress and in admitting into evidence eight exhibits containing photographs because the photographs were improperly obtained by the State when Smith's former roommate and a victim's advocate, acting as instruments or agents of the State, stole the photographs from Smith's home, copied them, and gave them to the juvenile office. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum has been provided to the parties. The judgment of conviction is affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
