PER CURIAM.

Continental’s declaratory judgment action sought a declaration regarding their rights and obligations with respect to insurance coverage for past and future asbestos and environmental claims asserted against Mallinckrodt. We affirm.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal. As an extended opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose, we affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b). We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only setting forth the reasons for our decision.
