Scott v. Laux
Scott v. Laux
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
Loretta Scott (Plaintiff) appeals the Circuit Court of St. Louis County’s order and final judgment dismissing, with prejudice, her claims against Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (Defendant). On appeal, Plaintiff asserts that the circuit court erred by granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted because: (1) Plaintiff pleaded that § 376.590(2) establishes a principal-agent relationship between Defendant and the brokers and (2) Plaintiff pleaded adequate facts to support her claims for declaratory judgment and money had and received. Plaintiff also asserts that the circuit court abused its discretion by denying her leave to amend the pleadings. We affirm.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and have determined that an extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion only for the use of the parties setting forth the reason's for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
