    Order
   Per Curiam:

Jerry Rice appeals the denial, following an evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. Rice raises a single claim on appeal; he argues that the motion court erred in rejecting his claim that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to use testimony from the State's expert witness, Dr. Lisa Fisher, during closing argument to challenge the credibility of the State's key witness. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
