ORDER
PER CURIAM:
Jonathan Gazaway appeals the circuit court's judgment denying his motion for post-conviction relief. After a jury trial, Gazaway was convicted in Jackson County Circuit Court of assault in the first degree, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. On appeal, Gazaway argues that his trial counsel was ineffective: for failing to develop evidence to support a sudden passion defense at trial, and failing to seek an instruction on a lesser-included offense based on sudden passion; for failing to present evidence to support a defense-of-third-person defense; and for failing to present the testimony of two particular witnesses. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum setting forth the reasons for this order has been provided to the parties. Rule 84.16(b).
