STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. James Michael DUNN, Appellant.
    No. ED 105137
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, DIVISION FOUR.
    Filed: February 20, 2018
    Garrick F. D. Aplin, Jefferson City, MO, for Respondent.
    Jedd C. Schneider, Columbia, MO, for Appellant.
    Before Colleen Dolan, P.J., Mary K. Hoff, J., and Lisa S. Van Amburg, J.
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM.

James M. Dunn ("Defendant") was charged with the class C felony of possession of a controlled substance pursuant to § 195.202. After reviewing the record, we find that (1) the trial court did not plainly err by failing to strike certain testimony sua sponte and (2) there was sufficient evidence to establish that Defendant "possessed" methamphetamine and he was aware of the nature and character of the illegal substance. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed under Rule 30.25(b).
