Steven Robert McCANN, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.
    No. WD 74054.
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
    Aug. 14, 2012.
    Susan Summers, Kansas City, MO, for Appellant.
    Dora Fichter, Jefferson City, MO, for Respondent.
    Before: JAMES EDWARD WELSH, C.J., THOMAS H. NEWTON, and CYNTHIA L. MARTIN, JJ.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Mr. Steven Robert McCann appeals from the motion court’s judgment denying a Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief after an evidentiary hearing. Mr. McCann argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel because: (1) trial counsel failed to argue to the trial court that a proposed jury instruction modification was mandated by the Missouri Approved Criminal Instructions; and (2) appellate counsel failed to raise this issue in Mr. McCann’s appeal.

For reasons stated in the memorandum provided to the parties, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
