Newman, Corina Newman, and Ted F. Frapolli. The appellate court dismissed Burgan's appeal for failure to substantially comply with the briefing requirements of Missouri Supreme Court Rule 84.04. The court found that the brief's statement of facts was deficient, the points relied on failed to concisely state legal reasons, and there was a complete failure to present a legal argument demonstrating reversible error, preventing the court from conducting a meaningful review without becoming an advocate.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=175176","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/bradley-burgan-appellant-v-kenneth-newman-et-al-respondents-109137","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
