ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Raymond Herndon appeals the circuit court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, following an evidentiary hearing, with respect to his convictions of five counts of first-degree child molestation and four counts of first-degree statutory sodomy. Herndon claims that his attorney provided him with ineffective assistance when counsel failed to request lesser-included offense instructions on each count. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, an unpublished memorandum setting forth the reasons for this order has been provided to the parties. Rule 84.16(b).
