ORDER

PER CURIAM.

William Schatz, III, and Kellie Wilburn, individually and as personal representative of the estate of William Schatz, Jr. ("Plaintiffs"), appeal the judgment' dismissing their petition against Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company and Kathleen D. Schatz, n/k/a Kathleen D. Rebmann for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. We find that the trial court did not err in dismissing Plaintiffs' petition.

An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The trial court's decision is affirmed under Rule 84.16(b).
