Order
PER CURIAM
The State of Missouri charged Appellant Dorothy C. Prior on August 11, 2020, with one count of violating an order of protection that had been entered against her pursuant to section 455.085. Prior was found guilty on November 3, 2020, following a bench trial for knowingly and voluntarily violating the conditions of the order of protection by entering upon the property at 304 East Prairie Street, New Florence, Missouri.
All statutory references are to the Revised Statutes of Missouri (Supp. 2017).
--------
In her sole point on appeal, Prior claims that there was insufficient evidence from which a rational trier of fact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that she knowingly entered the premises on the date in question. Because the trial court did not clearly err in finding that Prior knowingly and voluntarily violated the order of protection, we affirm.
An extended opinion would have no precedential value. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reason for this order pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
