Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

IN RE: the Care and Treatment of Roy VEACH a/k/a Roy L. Veach, a/k/a Roy Lane Veach, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 80825

Decided: June 25, 2019

Before Division One: Victor C. Howard, Presiding Judge, Lisa White Hardwick, Judge and Gary D. Witt, Judge

Amy E. Lowe, for Appellant Mary H. Moore, Jefferson City, for Respondent

ORDER

Roy Veach appeals from the circuit court’s judgment committing him to the Department of Mental Health as a sexually violent predator. Veach argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at his commitment trial because counsel failed to (1) investigate her theory of defense and (2) object to the testimony of a psychologist about the results of two tests. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum explaining the reasons for the decision has been provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
