Hire a lawyer; insufficient paperwork gets dismissed.

Sunday, August 5th, 2018

Pro se litigants are required to follow the same appellate rules as parties represented by lawyers. Reliable Roofing, LLC v. Jones, 302 S.W.3d 232, 234 (Mo. App. S.D. 2009). While we recognize the challenges facing pro se litigants, we cannot bend those rules to benefit non-lawyers. Id.

Appellants’ non-compliant brief preserves nothing for review. The appeal is dismissed.

TAN-TAR-A ESTATES, L.L.C., Plaintiff-Respondent, v. NEIL B. STEINER, and DEBORAH G. STEINER, Defendants-Appellants.  Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District – SD35292.  Decided July 31, 2018.
