ORDER
PER CURIAM.
James Teague pled guilty to felony nonsupport, Section 568.040, RSMo 2000. Teague appeals from the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief after an evidentiary hearing. Teague asserts that the trial court clearly erred in denying his motion because the failure of his plea counsel to investigate a possible defense constituted ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
