VARGAS v. STATE (2018)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Dennis L. VARGAS, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 80894

Decided: October 30, 2018

Before Division Three: Anthony Rex Gabbert, Presiding Judge, Victor C. Howard, Judge and Alok Ahuja, Judge

Susan L. Hogan, Kansas City, for Appellant. Julia E. Neidhardt, for Respondent.

ORDER

Dennis Vargas appeals the denial, after evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. He complains on appeal that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object and request a mistrial during voir dire when a venireperson made remarks about Vargas being in jail before. He also claims his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to point out errors in his sentencing assessment report. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum has been provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
