Supreme Court of Missouri / Nov 5, 2024
Jessica Goodman, Saline County Assessor, Appellant vs. Saline County Commission, et al., Respondents.
Jessica Goodman, Saline County Assessor, appealed the dismissal of her petition seeking a declaration of Saline County's classification. The Missouri Court of Appeals transferred the case to the Supreme Court, believing it had exclusive appellate jurisdiction due to Goodman's arguments regarding the constitutionality of a statute. The Supreme Court retransferred the case to the Court of Appeals, holding that its exclusive appellate jurisdiction was not invoked because Goodman did not properly raise a claim that a state statute was unconstitutional.
