Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Feb 4, 2019
MEADOWFRESH SOLUTIONS USA, LLC, et al., Plaintiffs-Respondents vs. MAPLE GROVE FARMS, LLC, LEON RINEHART, TED DAHLSTROM, CAROL DAHLSTROM, CURTIS HALL, LISA HALL, and KYLE BOUNOUS, Defendants-Appellants
Maple Grove Farms, LLC and other defendants appealed a trial court order denying their motion to revoke or modify an interlocutory order appointing a receiver. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, dismissed the appeal, holding that the trial court's order was not appealable because it was not denominated a "judgment" or "decree" as required by Rule 74.01(a). The court followed Spiece v. Garland, clarifying that Sanford v. CenturyTel of Missouri, LLC did not implicitly overrule Spiece regarding the denomination requirement for appeals under section 512.020.
