John R. Bird, Laura E. Sidel, St. Louis, MO, for Appellant.

Before GEORGE W. DRAPER III, P.J., GARY M. GAERTNER, SR., J., and ROBERT G. DOWD, JR., J.

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

J.R.H. (hereinafter, "Mother") appeals from the trial court's judgment terminating her parental rights to her minor daughter, J.H. (hereinafter, "Child"). Mother raises four points on appeal, arguing the trial court erred in: (1) failing to grant her a continuance at trial; (2) terminating her parental rights because there was not clear, cogent, and convincing evidence to support the findings made pursuant to Section 211.447.4(2) RSMo (2000); (3) terminating her parental rights because there was not clear, cogent, and convincing evidence to support the findings made pursuant to Section 211.447.4(3) RSMo (2000); and (4) terminating her parental rights was not in the best interests of Child.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and no error of law appears. The trial court's judgment terminating Mother's parental rights to Child is supported by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence on the record. No precedential or jurisprudential purpose would be served by an opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law. However, we are providing a memorandum to the parties, for their use only, setting forth the reasons for this order. We affirm pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
