PER CURIAM.
Ernest Smith ("Movant") appeals the motion court's judgment denying his motion for post-conviction relief under Rule 29.15, In his. Rule-29.15 motion, Movant alleged three claims of ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal, and we find the motion court did not clearly err in denying Movant relief.
