Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jan 14, 2020
WMAC 2013, LLC, Respondent, vs. Dennie R. Gladney, et al., Appellants.
Dennie R., Sharon, and Diana Gladney appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment to WMAC 2013, LLC in a quiet title and ejectment action concerning property acquired through a tax sale. The Gladneys argued that a genuine issue of material fact existed regarding whether the tax lien certificate was sold to a prohibited purchaser under Section 140.190.2, which they contended would invalidate WMAC13's title. The appellate court affirmed the summary judgment, holding that the alleged status of the purchaser as prohibited was not a material fact because Section 140.610 exclusively enumerates the grounds for challenging a collector's deed, and a prohibited purchaser is not among them.
