Leslie appealed a judgment from the Jackson County Circuit Court in favor of Edward White, which followed a trial de novo after a small claims action where Leslie alleged White defrauded her. The appellate court dismissed Leslie's appeal due to substantial deficiencies in her pro se appellate brief. The brief failed to comply with Rule 84.04 requirements, preventing the court from determining her claims of trial error or competently ruling on the merits.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=138536","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/mae-e-leslie-v-edward-white-d81623","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":"respondent"}]}
