In the Interest of D.W., Minor.
    No. ED 79574.
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Division One.
    Jan. 22, 2002.
    Connie S. Hood, Clayton, MO, for appellant.
    John R. Bird, Richard Childress, Div. Of Family Services, Timothy Smith, Guardian Ad Litem, St. Louis, MO, for respondent.
    Before WILLIAM H. CRANDALL, JR., P.J., and PAUL J. SIMON and ROBERT G. DOWD, JR., JJ.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

S.P. (“mother”) appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis terminating her parental rights with regard to her daughter, D.W. (“child”). We affirm and deny respondents’ (“foster parents”) motion to dismiss mother’s appeal.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal, and conclude the judgment of the trial court is supported by substantial evidence and does not erroneously declare or apply the law. As an extended opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose, we affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b). We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum opinion setting forth the reasons for our decision.
