Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Kevin Howard ("defendant") appeals the judgment on his conviction of one count of first-degree assault and one count of armed criminal action. Defendant claims the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of second-degree assault.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error of law. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written 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 of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with Rule 30.25(b).
