ORDER

Inmate Phillip Ruth appeals the circuit court's dismissal of his suit for injunctive relief alleging that a Missouri Department of Corrections visitation rule violates inmates' rights under the United States and Missouri constitutions. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on *288 appeal and find no error of law. A written opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the applicable principles of law would have no precedential or jurisprudential value. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order. Judgment affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
