PER CURIAM.

Action by grantors to set aside deed on grounds that grantees overreached ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‍and took advantage of grantors who were mentally and physically unable to exercise rational business judgment in an arm’s length transaction. Trial by the court ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‍resulted in judgment for grantees. Grantors appeal.

The issues raised on the appeal are purely factual. Review of the transcript of the proceedings below in accordance ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‍with the guidelines set forth in Murphy v. Carrón, 536 S.W.2d 30 (Mo. banc 1976), reveals that the judgment of the trial court is supported by substantial ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‍evidence and is not against the weight of the evidence. No error of law is asserted.

An extended opinion would have no prec-edential value. “Rule 84.16(b).

Respondents’ ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‍motion for damages for a frivolous appeal (Rule 84.19) is overruled.

Judgment affirmed.

All concur.
