Beattie v. Koster
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided August 28, 2012 · Newton, Smart, Witt
375 S.W.3d 253; 2012 WL 3656359; 2012 Mo. App. LEXIS 1043 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

Beattie v. Koster

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Michael Lynn Beattie pleaded guilty to first-degree child endangerment and felony murder. The felony murder involved the death of the child that Beattie endangered. Beattie now appeals the trial court’s judgment dismissing his petition for declaratory judgment for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Because a declaratory judgment is not the proper means of challenging a valid conviction, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
