   Order

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Kriston Monroe, appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Buchanan County after a jury found him guilty of driving while revoked (DWR), section 302.321. Monroe was sentenced to three years as a prior and persistent offender. Monroe asserts that the trial court erred in excluding certain evidence, abandoned its neutrality, and failed to intervene sua sponte in closing argument. Upon a review of the claims, this court finds no error. A lengthy opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been provided a memorandum of the court’s reasoning. Judgment affirmed. Rule 30.25(b). 
      
      . All statutory references are to RSMo Cum. Supp.2006, unless otherwise specified.
     
      
      . Monroe's prior felony convictions were: (1) passing bad checks, 1992; (2) stealing, 1996; (3) driving while revoked, 2001; and (4) forgery, 2003.
