Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 25, 2020
Michael Rauch vs. Corizon Medical, et al
Michael Rauch, a pro se appellant, appealed the dismissal of his petition against Corizon Medical and others, which alleged claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for inadequate medical care. The trial court had dismissed his petition for failure to state a claim. The appellate court dismissed Rauch's appeal, finding significant deficiencies in his appellate brief, particularly regarding the statement of facts and points relied on, which prevented a meaningful review of his claims.
