    Before DOWD, P.J., and REINHARD and GARY M. GAERTNER, JJ.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Alvin Washington (“defendant”), appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis resentencing him as a Class X offender pursuant to RSMo § 558.019 (Cum.Supp.1992). We affirm.

On October 7,1993, defendant was convicted of burglary in the second degree, RSMo § 569.170 (1986), and sentenced as a Class X offender. This Court remanded for further proceedings on defendant’s status as a Class X offender and for resentencing. Defendant was resentenced as a Class X offender. On appeal, defendant argues, first, that the 1994 amendment to ESMo § 558.019 eliminating the Class X offender classification applied to his resentencing; and second, the 1994 amendment to ESMo § 556.061(8) excluding burglary from its definition of “dangerous felonies” applied to his resentencing.

Both points are without merit. State v. Beers, 926 S.W.2d 215, 217 (Mo.App. E.D.1996); State v. Tivis, 933 S.W.2d 843, 848 n. 3 (Mo.App. W.D.1996). As an extended opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose, we affirm pursuant to Eule 30.25(b).
