LUCKINBILL v. STATE (2020)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

James M. LUCKINBILL, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 83134

Decided: November 10, 2020

Before Division Three: Gary D. Witt, P.J., Lisa White Hardwick and Thomas N. Chapman, JJ.

Matthew Palmer, Lebanon, MO, Counsel for Appellant. Richard Starnes, Jefferson City, MO, Counsel for Respondent.

ORDER

James Luckinbill appeals from a Pettis County motion court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion following an evidentiary hearing. Luckinbill asserts that the motion court clearly erred in denying his motion for post-conviction relief, because he received ineffective assistance of counsel. In his sole point, Luckinbill asserts that trial counsel was ineffective in failing to call a witness whose testimony could have supported Luckinbill's defense by establishing that he was defending himself. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
