Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
A jury convicted appellant Michael A. Ralls of one count each of burglary in the second degree, § 569.170 RSMo 1994, and stealing, § 570.030. The trial court subsequently sentenced him as a prior and persistent offender, § 558.016 and 557.036, to six years imprisonment for burglary and one year confinement in the Jackson County Jail for stealing. After the trial court denied his motion for a new trial, Mr. Ralls timely appealed his conviction. In his sole point on appeal, he alleges that the trial court clearly erred in overruling his Bat-son objections to the State's use of its peremptory strikes to remove two venire-persons from the jury panel.
Affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
