Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Defendant, James Hittler, appeals from a judgment entered upon a jury verdict finding him guilty of driving while intoxicated (DWI), in violation of section 577.010 RSMo (2000). The trial court found defendant to be an aggravated offender based on three prior DWI convictions, which enhanced the classification for his fourth DWI to a class C felony pursuant to section 577.023 RSMo (Cum.Supp.2005). It sentenced defendant to five years imprisonment.
No error of law appears and no jurisdictional purpose would be served by a writ ten opinion. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order.
The judgment is affirmed in accordance with Rule 30.25(b).
. All further statutory references are to RSMo (2000) unless otherwise indicated.
