Dorsey v. State

Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

PHILLIP R. GARRISON, Judge.

Tommy Dorsey (“Dorsey”) appeals from the motion court’s denial, without an evi-dentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 1 motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his conviction of second-degree assault and the resulting sentence of nine years imprisonment. He alleges in three points that the motion court erred in denying the motion because he alleged facts therein which, if proved, would warrant relief in that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in derogation of his constitutional rights. We disagree and affirm the motion court’s judgment.
