ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Alexander C. Thornton, alleging he received ineffective assistance from his plea counsel, appeals from the motion court's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Judgment denying his motion for post-conviction relief following an evidentiary hearing.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal, and find the claims 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 *346 reasons for this order pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
