STONE II v. STATE (2021)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Gordon Mack STONE, II, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 83754

Decided: August 10, 2021

Division Three: Edward R. Ardini, Jr., Presiding Judge, Mark D. Pfeiffer, Judge and W. Douglas Thomson, Judge

Damien De Loyola, for Appellant. Karen Kramer, Jefferson City, for Appellant.

ORDER

Gordon Stone appeals from the motion court's judgment denying his amended Rule 29.15 post-conviction motion without an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, Stone claims that the motion court erred in denying his amended post-conviction motion without an evidentiary hearing because an evidentiary hearing was required in that each of Stone's claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel were not conclusively refuted by the record and Stone was prejudiced. We disagree, conclude there is no precedential value in our ruling today, and affirm the motion court's judgment. Pursuant to Rule 84.16(b), we provide the parties an unpublished memorandum to explain our ruling.
