KEVIN JOSEPH LAMBERT, Appellant, v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent.

WD88278

Before Division Two Judges: Janet Sutton, Presiding Judge, Lisa White Hardwick, Judge, and W. Douglas Thomson, Judge

Attorneys: Katharine Curry, Columbia, MO, for appellant Karen Kramer, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent

ORDER

Kevin Joseph Lambert appeals the motion court's denial of his 29.15 motion, following his conviction of murder in the second degree, a class A felony, and armed criminal action, an unclassified felony. Lambert argues the motion court clearly erred in denying his claim that counsel was ineffective for failing to cross-examine a witness with her pre-trial deposition statements. Finding no error, we affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum that sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 84.16(b).
