Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Feb 14, 2023
Keith Lewis, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Second Injury Fund, Respondent.
Keith Lewis appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision dismissing his application for review of an Administrative Law Judge's dismissal of his workers' compensation claim against the Second Injury Fund. The appellate court found that Lewis's brief failed to substantially comply with Rule 84.04, which governs appellate briefing requirements. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal, holding that nothing was preserved for appellate review due to the briefing deficiencies.
