Opinion

Order

PER CURIAM.

Johnnie J. Peete appeals the motion court’s denial of his request for a correction of his criminal conviction under Missouri Supreme Court Rule 29.15 (2007). A jury found Peete guilty of armed criminal action and murder in the second degree. We denied relief on direct appeal. He then sought post-conviction relief claiming that he was denied effective assistance of trial counsel. He argues that his trial counsel faded to call a key witness and failed to object to an improper character attack made by the State during closing arguments. After an evidentiary hearing, the motion court denied relief. We affirm the motion court’s judgment. Rule 84.16(b).
