Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Oct 29, 2024
Dana Jensen vs. Division of Employment Security
Dana Jensen appealed a decision by the Division of Employment Security regarding an overpayment of unemployment benefits. The Appeals Tribunal dismissed Jensen's appeal for failure to appear at a scheduled hearing, and the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission affirmed that dismissal. On appeal to the Western District, Jensen challenged the merits of the overpayment determination, but the court dismissed his appeal because he failed to challenge the Commission's decision regarding his failure to appear, thus abandoning the only issue properly before the appellate court.
