Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

CRAHAN, Judge.

Danny Drennen (“Movant”) was convicted of sale of a controlled substance after submitting an Alford plea. 1 He was sentenced to serve ten years. Movant later brought a motion to vacate, set aside or correct the judgment and sentence pursuant to Rule 24.035. After ordering that references to Movant as a “dangerous offender” inadvertently included in the judgment be expunged from the record, the court denied the motion without an evidentiary hearing. Movant appeals the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion. We reverse and remand with directions.

The facts of this case are not contested.…
