Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 23, 2024
Tamar Godfrey, Appellant, vs. Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, Respondent.
Tamar Godfrey appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision affirming the dismissal of her workers' compensation claim for failure to prosecute. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, finding that Godfrey's notice of appeal was untimely filed three days after the statutory deadline. The court further held that Godfrey's motion for reconsideration did not extend the deadline, as it was treated as an untimely amended application for review.
