ORDER

PER CURIAM

Dennis Penning appeals from the trial court judgment entered in favor of Union Pacific Railroad Company in a personal injury action.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal and find the claims of error are without merit. The evidence in support of the jury verdict is not insufficient. No error of law appears. An extended opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law would have no jurisprudential value. Judgment affirmed in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).

The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for the order affirming the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
