Missouri Court of Appeals·Decided March 20, 2012·No. ED 96379·Published

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

David T. Whitt appeals the judgment entered upon a jury verdict convicting him of second-degree property damage. We find that the trial court did not clearly err in overruling Whitt’s Batson challenge to the State’s peremptory strike of venireper-son Mantreal Butler. We also find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling Whitt’s request for a mistrial after the court proceeded with the trial in his absence.

An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum set *557 ting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed under Rule 30.25(b).
