PYYKOLA v. STATE (2021)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Steven T. PYYKOLA, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 83125

Decided: February 09, 2021

Before Division Three: Karen King Mitchell, Presiding Judge, Gary D. Witt, Judge, Anthony Rex Gabbert, Judge

Kent E. Gipson, Kansas City, MO, Counsel for Appellant. Julia E. Rives, Jefferson City, MO, Counsel for Respondent.

ORDER

Steven T. Pyykola appeals the denial, after an evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. In his sole point on appeal, he contends the motion court clearly erred in finding Pyykola's appellate counsel was not prejudicially ineffective for failing to brief a claim that the trial court committed reversible error in allowing the State to introduce evidence pertaining to a rifle, rifle scope, and part of an ammunition box during Pyykola's trial. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
