1Opinion of the Court

ORDER

2Per curiam

Daniel Coffman appeals from the motion court’s denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief after an evidentiary hearing. Coffman contends that his trial counsel was ineffective in: (1) failing to call police officer Joseph Jackson as a witness at trial; (2) failing to call Goldina McKnight and Dr. Steven Scott to testify at trial; (3) failing to call criminalist Shawn Bailes as a witness at trial; and (4) conceding in closing argument that the victim had not consented to sexual intercourse with Coffman. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
