Opinion

This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court. Opinion Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District Case Style: Robertson G. Ferrell, Appellant, v. Civil Service Commission of the City of St. Louis, Respondent. Case Number: 74700 and 74779 Handdown Date: 12/22/1998 Appeal From: Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Hon. Philip D. Heagney Counsel for Appellant: Eli Karsh Counsel for Respondent: Eric Kendall Banks and Patricia A. Hageman Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: DISMISSED. Hoff, P.J., Gaertner and Rhodes Russell, JJ., concur. Opinion: ORDER The Civil Service Commission of the City of St. Louis dismissed employee from his employment with the City of St. Louis Airport Authority for violating the city's residency requirement. Employee appealed the decision to the circuit court of the City of St. Louis. The circuit court remanded the case to the Commission for a further evidentiary hearing. Employee appeals the Commission's decision, while the Commission appeals the order of the circuit court remanding the case to the agency. An order merely remanding the matter back to an agency for additional evidence is not a final judgment vesting this court with appellate jurisdiction. Taylor v. Civil Service Com'n, 969 S.W.2d 763, 764 (Mo. App. 1998). In the absence of a final judgment, we must dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Section 512.020 RSMo 1994. Appeal dismissed. Separate Opinion:

None This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court.

Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern DistrictFebruary 24, 2026#ED113602

affirmed

The court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff's disability discrimination and hostile work environment claims under the Missouri Human Rights Act because she failed to plead facts demonstrating legal disability or a hostile work environment based on disability. However, the court reversed and remanded the retaliation claim, finding that plaintiff alleged sufficient facts establishing the elements of retaliation under the Act based on her complaints of disability discrimination.
