Opinion
No. ED 81978
September 23, 2003
Appeal from the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Honorable Steven Goldman.
John Munson Morris, III, Assistant Attorney General, Adriane Dixon Crouse, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent.
N. Scott Rosenblum, Rosenblum, Schwartz Rogers P.C., Clinton Wright, St. Louis, MO, for appellant.
Before GLENN A. NORTON, P.J., KATHIANNE KNAUP CRANE, J. and MARY K. HOFF, J.
ORDER
Defendant appeals from the judgment entered by the trial court on a jury verdict finding him guilty of one count of assault in the first degree, in violation of Section 565.050 RSMo (2000), and one count of armed criminal action, in violation of Section 571.015 RSMo (2000). The court sentenced him to fifteen years imprisonment on the assault count and fifteen years imprisonment on the armed criminal action count, to be served consecutively. For his sole point on appeal defendant claims the trial court erred in imposing consecutive sentences, an error not preserved at sentencing.
We will not review a claim of plain error under Rule 30.20 unless there are substantial grounds for believing that manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice has resulted. State v. Chaney, 967 S.W.2d 47, 59 (Mo.banc 1998). There are no extraordinary circumstances in this case to justify reviewing this argument as a matter of plain error. State v. Mosley, 980 S.W.2d 1, 3 (Mo.App.E.D. 1998). See State v. Loewe, 756 S.W.2d 177, 184 (Mo.App.E.D. 1998). No error of law appears and no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion.
The judgment is affirmed in accordance with Rule 30.25(b).
Glenn A. Norton, P.J., Kathianne Knaup Crane, J. and Mary K. Hoff, J., concurring.
