Opinion

ORDER

Following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Lafayette County, Michael Clayton was convicted of one count of first-degree drug trafficking, one count of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, and one count of forgery. Clayton was sentenced to an aggregate eighteen-year term of imprisonment. He appeals, arguing that the circuit court plainly erred when it failed to issue a curative instruction or declare a mistrial after the prosecution improperly asked Clayton during cross-examination whether a prosecution witness was lying. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties which sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 30.25(b).
