Michael J. Hejna, et al Missouri Cases

Michael J. Hejna and Gordon A. Gundaker, Jr. (Appellants) appealed the circuit court's grant of partial summary judgment to Cygnus SBL Loans, LLC (Respondent). The underlying dispute involved the enforcement of loan guaranties after a Deed-in-Lieu Agreement (DIL) failed. Appellants raised six points on appeal, challenging venue, the admissibility of an affidavit, Respondent's standing, the necessity of invalidating the DIL, the acceptance of additional evidence, and Gundaker's specific liability. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding no error in any of the challenged rulings.
