ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Darin Lewis (Lewis) appeals the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief based on ineffective assistance of counsel. On appeal, Lewis argues that the court erred in denying his motion because *80 his trial counsel's failure to call a witness to bolster his self-defense claim fell below the standard of care of a reasonably competent attorney and prejudiced the trial's outcome. Having carefully considered Lewis's contentions on appeal, we find no basis for reversing the decision of the trial court. A published formal opinion would have no precedential value, and the parties have been provided with a memorandum explaining the reasoning of the court. The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
