Missouri Court of Appeals, 1977

Gray v. Bryant

Gray v. Bryant
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided October 24, 1977
557 S.W.2d 489; 1977 Mo. App. LEXIS 2320 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Gray v. Bryant

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an action on a promissory note. On April 21,1977, a Stod-dard County jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $4,333.27.

On the same day, the following entry was made:

“Judgment in favor of plaintiff and vs. defendants in total sum of $4333.27 in accordance with jury verdict. Cost taxed vs. defendants.”

The quoted material may suffice as a minute or docket entry but fails to constitute a judgment from which an appeal may be taken, notwithstanding its cognomination as a “judgment.” Cochran v. DeShazo, 538 S.W.2d 598, 601[6] (Mo.App. 1976).

The appeal is dismissed.

All concur.
