ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Francesco R. Russo ("Russo") and Eric D. Lougin (collectively "Appellants") appeal the judgment of the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis ("the trial court") affirming the decision of the State Tax Commission of Missouri ("the Commission"). Appellants also appeal the trial court's decision granting the Commission's motion to strike pleadings and to dismiss Russo from the proceedings before the trial court. We find the Commission's decision and the trial court's decision are not erroneous.
No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The decisions of the Commission and trial court are affirmed under Rule 84.16(b).
