   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Leo Mullen appeals the circuit court’s dismissal of his case for failure to prosecute. He contends that the circuit court erred in dismissing his petition because justice prefers a trial of the matter on the merits rather than dismissal. We affirm. Discerning no jurisprudential value in publishing an opinion, we issue this summary order. Rule 84.16(b). We have issued a memorandum to the parties explaining our ruling.
