Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 19, 2024
Monica Jackson, Appellant, vs. Annie Sykes, Respondent.
Monica Jackson appealed the trial court's judgment in favor of Annie Sykes regarding a security deposit dispute. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal because Jackson, acting pro se, failed to comply with the mandatory appellate briefing requirements of Rule 84.04. Specifically, her brief contained an argumentative statement of facts with inadequate record references, multifarious points relied on, and deficient argument sections that failed to specify the correct standard of review or adequately support legal assertions.
