481 S.W.3d 602, 2016 Mo. App. LEXIS 89, 2016 WL 519716

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM

Antoine D. Barton (Appellant) appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, entered after a jury trial, finding him guilty of first-degree murder arid armed criminal action. On appeal, Appellant asserts the trial court erred by .admitting jailhouse phone recordings of a State witness for two reasons: (1) the State committed a discovery violation by giving late notice to Appellant of its intent to use the recorded phone calls, and (2) the State failed to lay a proper foundation to admit the recorded phone calls. Finding no error, we affirm. ,

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and have determined that an extended opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose. We have, however, ■ provided a memorandum opinion only for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision. Rule 30.25(b).
