STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Dale E. SMILEY, Appellant.
    No. WD 75595.
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
    Oct. 15, 2013.
    Dora Fichter, for respondent.
    Samuel E. Buffaloe, for appellant.
    Before Division I: VICTOR C. HOWARD, Presiding Judge, JOSEPH M. ELLIS, Judge and ANTHONY REX GABBERT, Judge.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Dale Smiley appeals his convictions following a jury trial for second-degree statutory sodomy, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct involving a child by indecent exposure, and two counts of second-degree sexual misconduct and consecutive sentences totaling fifteen years imprisonment. He contends that the trial court plainly erred in failing sua sponte to declare a mistrial or give a curative instruction during the State’s closing argument. After Smiley filed this appeal, he filed a motion to remand the case to the trial court to consider newly discovered evidence, which was taken with the case. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum has been provided to the parties. The motion to remand is denied.

The convictions are affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
