No. 47187.
January 17, 1984. Motion For Rehearing and/or Transfer to Supreme Court Denied February 17, 1984. Application to Transfer Denied March 20, 1984.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT, CITY OF ST. LOUIS, GEORGE A. ADOLF, J.
Debra Buie Arnold, Asst. Public Defender, St. Louis, for appellant.
Kristie Lynne Green, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jefferson City, for respondent.
Appeal from summary denial of movant-defendant's Rule 27.26 motion. He challenges the 20-year persistent-offender sentence imposed on his plea of not guilty to second-degree robbery. See 638 S.W.2d 802 (Mo.App. 1982).
Defendant's only ground here is that his sentence exceeded the ten years received by his accomplice on a guilty plea. That is irrelevant.
We presume the validity of legislatively prescribed punishment. State v. Higgins, 592 S.W.2d 151[2, 3] (Mo. banc 1979) and Parton v. State, 545 S.W.2d 338[14-16] (Mo.App. 1976).
Affirmed.
KAROHL, P.J., and REINHARD and CRANDALL, JJ., concur.
