    No. ED 102189
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, DIVISION FOUR.
    
    Filed: December 8, 2015
    
      Donnell Smith, 4625 Lindell Blvd., Suite 500, St. Louis, MO 63108, for Appellant.
    Joseph K. Robbins, 906 Olive St., Suite 1125, St. Louis, MO 63101, for Respondent.
    Before Sherri B. Sullivan, P.J., Patricia L. Cohen, J., and Kurt S. Odenwald, J.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM. •

The City of Pine Lawn appeals the trial court’s judgment awarding damages of $500,000 to Marqual. McGee in a negligence suit after McGee suffered injuries on the City’s premises. The City claims that the trial court abused its discretion by: (1) awarding McGee $469,857.31 in damages for pain and suffering and (2) admitting certain medical bills and records of McGee’s actual damages ($30,142.69) without authentication and evidence of reasonableness.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the trial court’s decision was not clearly erroneous. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only, setting forth the reasons for our decision.

We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
