Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Spencer Todd vs. Denny Hoskins, In His Official Capacity as the Missouri Secretary of State; Rebecca Uccello
Spencer Toder challenged the Secretary of State's ballot title for a proposed constitutional amendment on public education. Rebecca Uccello intervened, supporting the Secretary's statement and cross-appealing its sufficiency. The appellate court reversed the trial court's decision allowing Uccello to permissively intervene, finding she lacked a common claim or defense with the main action. Consequently, Uccello's appeal was dismissed, and the trial court's certification of the Secretary's Second Revised Summary Statement as fair and sufficient was affirmed.
