Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Archie J. Blankenship (Defendant) appeals from the judgment upon his convictions by a jury for one count of child molestation in the first degree, in violation of Section 566.067, RSMo 2000, for which he was sentenced as a prior and persistent offender, to a sentence of fifteen-years' imprisonment.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal and find the claims of error to be without merit. No error of law appears. An extended opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law applicable to this case would serve no jurisprudential purpose. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
. Unless otherwise indicated, all further statutory references are to RSMo 2000 as updated.
