PER CURIAM.
George Kitchen appeals the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for ineffective assistance of counsel. Kitchen argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to request a mistrial based on juror misconduct. The motion court found that based on the trial attorney's testimony at the evidentiary hearing, the decision not to ask for a *831 mistrial was part of a reasonable trial strategy. The judgment of the motion court is affirmed.
Rule 84.16(b).
