Order

PER CURIAM:

Liheame Johnson appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Johnson County in which he was found guilty of murder in the second degree, attempted possession of a controlled substance in excess of thirty-five grams of marijuana, and resisting arrest. In his sole point on appeal, Johnson maintains that the trial court erred in not instructing the jury on the defense of self-defense because he claims the evidence adduced at trial injected the defense of self-defense. We affirm in this per curiam order and have provided the parties a memorandum explaining our ruling today. Rule 30.25(b).
