Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 29, 2018
Douglas Bruce, Appellant, vs. City of Farmington, Missouri, Respondent.
Douglas Bruce appealed the circuit court's grant of the City of Farmington's motion to dismiss. The appellate court dismissed Bruce's appeal, finding that his amended appellant's brief failed to substantially comply with Rule 84.04. Specifically, the brief lacked a fair and concise statement of facts and presented no legal arguments or citations to legal authorities beyond general references to the U.S. Constitution, preventing the court from conducting a meaningful review.
