Blackmon v. State

RONALD R. HOLLIGER, Presiding Judge.

Michael Blackmon appeals the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief after evidentiary hearing. He claims (1) that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to an allegedly erroneous jury instruction, and (2) that his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise on appeal a plain error argument that the trial court erred in submitting the instruction. Blackmon has failed to show, as he must in order to prevail, that the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law are clearly erroneous. Affirmed.
