Order

Earl Washington appeals, following an evidentiary hearing, the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief. Washington raises two claims: (1) his plea was involuntary insofar as (a) he believed the State would charge his brother unless Washington accepted the plea offer and (b) his plea was induced by intolerable conditions at the Jackson County Detention Center; and (2) his plea was involuntary and unknowing insofar as there was an insufficient factual basis for the unlawful entry element of first-degree burglary. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
