Estate of Boyer v. Boyer
Estate of Boyer v. Boyer
Opinion of the Court
This appeal is but a scion of an involuted court-tried case to partition and quiet title to certain real estate in Jefferson County. The specific action of the trial court leading to this appeal is the dismissal of a cross-claim of a co-defendant to the original suit.
In spite of the dismissal of the crossclaim, other issues and parties remain. It would serve no useful purpose to delve into these matters, for they will no doubt be presented in another appellate proceeding for denouement at some later date and would only have a cluttering effect at this time. It is sufficient here to state that inasmuch as the order appealed from is not a final disposition of the parties and issues and has not been designated by the trial court as a final, appealable order, there is no proper appeal before us. Reeves v. Smith, 621 S.W.2d 534 (Mo.App. 1981).
Appellant asserts § 512.020, RSMo 1978 as allowing appeals “from any interlocutory judgments in actions of partition which determine the rights of the parties.” But
Appeal dismissed.
