Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 1, 2023
JOSE A. HUCKLEBERRY, JR., Movant-Appellant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent-Respondent
Movant Jose Huckleberry, Jr. appealed the denial of his amended Rule 29.15 motion without an evidentiary hearing on all six claims. The motion court's order only addressed one claim concerning appellate counsel, leaving five claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel unadjudicated. The appellate court agreed with both parties that the motion court's order was not a final judgment because it failed to resolve all claims. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed for lack of a final judgment.
