ORDER
Michael Davis ("Davis") brings this declaratory action against Larry Crawford, the Director of the Missouri Department of Corrections. Citing to various statutory and constitutional provisions, Davis claims that two departmental policies, which authorize random searches of cells and drug testing of inmates, violate his right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures.
*215 The Director responded to Davis's petition with a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, which was granted by the trial court. Davis appeals that dismissal. On review, this court determines that Davis's petition fails to state facts that would establish a violation of the statutory or constitutional provisions upon which that petition relies. Accordingly, that petition failed to state a claim entitling Davis to the relief he requested, the trial court's dismissal of the declaratory judgment suit was proper, and is affirmed. Pursuant to Rule 84.16(b)
