The appellate court dismissed Bruce's appeal, finding that his amended appellant's brief failed to substantially comply with Rule 84.04. Specifically, the brief lacked a fair and concise statement of facts and presented no legal arguments or citations to legal authorities beyond general references to the U.S. Constitution, preventing the court from conducting a meaningful review.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=125861","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/douglas-bruce-appellant-v-city-of-farmington-missouri-respondent-106048","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"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"}]}
