Anthony Piercy, a Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper, was terminated by the Superintendent despite the Disciplinary Review Board recommending a lesser punishment. Piercy sought judicial review, and the circuit court found the Superintendent lacked statutory authority to impose a harsher punishment than recommended, remanding the case. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that under Section 43.150, the Superintendent's authority to dismiss is limited to instances where dismissal is recommended by the Board. The court also determined the case was not moot and was a contested case for judicial review purposes.
