Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 29, 2023
ROB SPRUEILL, n/k/a ROBERT DEAN HOLLOWAY, and FIVE STAR PRODUCTIONS, LLC, Petitioners-Appellants v. DAVID LOTT and MISSOURI HOLDING GROUP, INC., Respondents-Respondents
Appellants Rob Sprueill and Five Star Productions, LLC appealed a judgment vacating the registration of a California foreign judgment. Respondents David Lott and Missouri Holding Group, Inc. argued that Appellants' brief failed to comply with mandatory appellate briefing rules. The appellate court agreed, finding that the brief's statement of facts was unfair, its points relied on were defective and multifarious, and its argument section did not follow required analytical sequences. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal, holding that the deficiencies materially impeded impartial appellate review.
