Case Style: State ex rel. River King, Inc., d/b/a Burger King, Inc., Relator, v. The Honorable Michael B. Calvin, Judge, Division 1, Circuit Court of St. Louis City, Missouri, Respondent. Case Number: SC81847 Handdown Date: 02/22/2000 Appeal From: Original Proceeding in Mandamus Counsel for Appellant: T. Michael Ward and Russell F. Watters Counsel for Respondent: Paul E. Ground Opinion Summary: Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: All concur. Opinion: River King is a defendant in the underlying action filed in the circuit court of St. Louis City. It timely filed a motion, Rule 55.27(a), to dismiss the action or transfer the case to a county having proper venue. After holding a hearing on the motion, it was overruled. River King subsequently filed a motion to reconsider, which was supported by additional material. This motion also was overruled. River King then sought a writ of mandamus, and this Court's alternative writ issued. The alternative writ, superseded by this opinion, is hereby quashed. The record in this case establishes that the underlying cause is filed in the circuit court of the wrong venue. The Circuit Court of St. Louis City is directed to transfer the case as provided by section 476.410, RSMo 1994. All concur. Separate Opinion: None

Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern DistrictFebruary 25, 2026#SD38782
The court affirmed Clancy's conviction for second-degree assault against a special victim after a jury trial. The evidence was sufficient to prove that Clancy punched an elderly civilian in the face and struck a police officer during an altercation at a laundromat, supporting the conviction under Missouri statute § 565.052.3.

Supreme Court of MissouriFebruary 24, 2026#SC101218
James Willis Peters appealed his conviction for driving while intoxicated as a chronic offender, challenging whether the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that all four of his prior offenses were intoxication-related traffic offenses. The court found the state failed to sufficiently prove his 2002 offense was an IRTO and therefore vacated the judgment and remanded for resentencing.
State of Missouri, Respondent, vs. Gerald R. Nytes, Appellant.(2026)
Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern DistrictFebruary 17, 2026#ED113261
Gerald Nytes appealed his conviction for violating a full order of protection, arguing the State failed to prove he had notice of the order as required by statute. The court affirmed, finding sufficient evidence of notice based on Nytes's presence at the contested order of protection hearing and his subsequent violation through phone calls made from jail to the protected party.
