Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 3, 2021
David and Viola Stagner vs. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for AEGIS Asset Backed Securities Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-1, and Select Portfolio Services, Inc., and Millsap & Singer, P.C.
David and Viola Stagner appealed partial summary judgment rulings in favor of Wells Fargo, Select Portfolio Services, and Millsap & Singer in a wrongful foreclosure action. Millsap & Singer cross-appealed class certification rulings. The appellate court dismissed the consolidated appeals, finding that none of the summary judgment rulings qualified as final judgments for appeal. The court held that the circuit court's attempts to certify certain rulings for interlocutory appeal under Rule 74.01(b) were improper because claims remained unresolved and were closely intertwined.
