ORDER
PER CURIAM
Jody Kirk (Kirk) appeals from the court's Judgment and Commitment Order (judgment) based upon a jury verdict and finding Kirk to be a sexually violent predator (SVP) and ordering him committed to the custody of the director of the Department of Mental Health. 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).
