Sanford J. WILLIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 81593

Decided: June 25, 2019

Before Division Two: Thomas N. Chapman, Presiding Judge, Mark D. Pfeiffer, Judge and Cynthia L. Martin, Judge

Laura G. Martin, Kansas City, MO, for appellant. Shaun Mackelprang, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent.

ORDER

Sanford J. Willis appeals the denial of his motion for post-conviction relief which claimed that, in light of the holding of State v. Bazell, 497 S.W.3d 263 (Mo. banc 2016), his sentence for stealing exceeded the authorized range of punishment for a class A misdemeanor, and there was no factual basis for the plea court to have accepted his guilty plea to the class B felony of stealing because the facts to which he testified only established a class A misdemeanor. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
