Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 9, 2019
World Wide Technology, Inc. vs. Office of Administration, State of Missouri and Division of Purchasing and Materials Management; Office of Administration, State of Missouri
World Wide Technology, Inc. appealed the circuit court's judgment dismissing its petition for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief against the Office of Administration and Division of Purchasing and Materials Management, challenging a government contract award. World Wide raised issues concerning a change of judge, standing, failure to state a claim, waiver, and denial of leave to amend. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding no error in the denial of the change of judge, lack of standing for most claims, failure to state a claim for the Missouri preference claim, and no abuse of discretion in denying leave to amend.
