## Opinion text

WELLIVER, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent.
While I feel no compulsion to be bound by the holding of the federal trial court, I am persuaded that the Missouri Service Letter Statute is unconstitutional for the reasons enunciated by Collinson, District Judge, in Rimmer v. Colt Industries Operating Corporation, 495 F.Supp. 1217 (W.D.Mo.1980).
Following the rationale of Rimmer I would overrule any prior holdings of this Court to the contrary and would reverse the judgment of the trial court.
