Opinion

This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court. Opinion Missouri Court of Appeals Western District Case Style: Cynthia Diane Chick, Respondent, v. Floyd Marvin Chick, Appellant. Case Number: 54839 Handdown Date: 06/23/1998 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Boone County, Hon. Sara J. Miller Counsel for Appellant: Terri Gonder Counsel for Respondent: L.G. Copeland Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: Howard, P.J., Breckenridge and Spinden, J.J., concur. Opinion: Floyd Marvin Chick appeals from a "judgment and decree of dissolution of marriage" entered on July 29, 1997, by The Honorable Sara J. Miller, commissioner of the circuit court. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Supreme Court recently decided, in Slay v. Slay, No. 80405, slip op. (Mo. banc March 24, 1998), that this court lacks jurisdiction to consider an appeal from the findings and recommendations of a family court commissioner which have not been signed by a judge. See also State ex rel. York v.Daugherty, No. 80742, slip op. (Mo. banc June 16, 1998). We find no record of a judgment entered by a person selected for office in accordance with, and authorized to exercise judicial power by, Article V of Missouri's constitution. Because no final, appealable judgment has been entered, we lack jurisdiction to consider the appeal pursuant to Rule 74.01. Separate Opinion: None
