Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Chunjuan Shan vs. Division of Employment Security
Chunjuan Shan appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's (LIRC) dismissal of her application for review of an unemployment benefits claim. The LIRC had dismissed her application as untimely, and Shan subsequently filed her notice of appeal to the appellate court over ten months after the LIRC's decision became final. The appellate court dismissed Shan's appeal for lack of jurisdiction, holding that the untimely filing of a notice of appeal divests the court of authority to hear the appeal, regardless of the reasons for the delay.
