ORDER

J.W. (“Father”) appeals from the trial court’s Judgment terminating Father’s parental rights to his son B.W.D. on the grounds of abandonment under Section 211.447.5(l)(b), RSMo 2000. We affirm.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal and find the claims of error to be without merit. No error of law appears. An extended opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law applicable to this case would serve no jurisprudential or precedential purpose. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
