   Order

Per Curiam:

Mr. Arthur Earl appeals his convictions of one count of first-degree statutory sodomy and one count of first-degree child molestation following a jury trial. Mr. Earl contends that the trial court erred in admitting his statement to law enforcement because he alleges the statement was made involuntarily. There being no prece-dential value in our ruling, we have instead provided the parties with a legal memorandum explaining our ruling. We affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
