Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 25, 2020
Don F. Eberhardt, Appellant, vs. Aura M. Hagemann Eberhardt, Respondent.
Don F. Eberhardt appealed pro se from the trial court's dismissal of his petition against Aura M. Hagemann Eberhardt, which alleged claims including fraud, perjury, and bigamy, and sought annulment and damages. The trial court dismissed the petition for failure to state a claim and on res judicata grounds. The appellate court, however, did not reach the merits of the underlying claims. Instead, it dismissed the appeal because Appellant's brief substantially failed to comply with the mandatory briefing requirements of Rule 84.04, preserving nothing for review.
