STATE of Missouri, Plaintiff/Respondent, v. Ernesto ZAYAS-HERNANDEZ, Defendant/Appellant.
    No. ED 105910
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, DIVISION THREE.
    Filed: September 25, 2018
    Karelia S. Rajagopal, 1114 Market Street, Suite 401, St. Louis, MO 63101, For Plaintiff/Respondent.
    Edward S. Thompson, 1010 Market Street, Suite 1100, St. Louis, MO 63103, For Defendant/Appellant.
    Before Sherri B. Sullivan, P.J., Lawrence E. Mooney, J., and James M. Dowd, J.
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM.

Ernesto Zayas-Hernandez (Appellant) appeals from the judgment of the trial court entered upon a jury verdict finding him guilty of third-degree domestic assault in violation of Section 565.074 and sentencing him to one year in the Medium Security Institution with credit for time served, alleging instructional error. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and conclude the trial court did not err in rejecting Appellant's proposed self-defense instruction. State v. Bruner, 541 S.W.3d 529, 534 (Mo.banc 2018). An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision to the parties for their use only. We affirm the decision pursuant to Missouri Rule of Criminal Procedure 30.25(b).
