Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 14, 2020
Richard "Neil" Howe vs. Heartland Midwest, LLC, et al; Time Warner Cable Midwest, LLC
Time Warner Cable Midwest, LLC appealed a judgment confirming an arbitrator's award in favor of Richard "Neil" Howe against Heartland Midwest, LLC, and argued the trial court erred in denying its motion to intervene. The appellate court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. It found Time Warner lacked standing because the judgment did not rule on its motion to intervene and it was not aggrieved by the award between other parties. Additionally, the judgment was not final for appeal purposes because Time Warner's third-party petition against USIC Locating Services, LLC remained pending.
