Before BOOKER T. SHAW, P.J., and KATHIANNE KNAUP CRANE, J., and MARY K. HOFF, J.

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Michael Taggert (Movant) appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief based on Movant's guilty plea to one count of unlawful possession of a weapon, Section 571.020, RSMo 2000,[1] one count of second-degree burglary, Section 569.170, and one count of stealing over $500, Section 570.030. On appeal, Movant argues the motion court clearly erred in denying his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief because trial counsel never extended or explained a five-year plea offer to Movant. We affirm.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal, and find the claim of error to be without merit. An extended opinion would have no precedential value or serve any jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
