No. 57785.
August 28, 1990. Motion for Rehearing and/or Transfer to Supreme Court Denied October 17, 1990. Application to Transfer Denied November 20, 1990.
APPEAL FROM THE MISSOURI CIRCUIT COURT, ST. LOUIS COUNTY; ROBERT S. COHEN, JUDGE.
Francis X. Duda, St. Louis, for defendant-appellant.
Phillip K. Gebhardt, St. Louis, for plaintiff-respondent.
Defendant appeals from an order of the associate circuit court which refused to satisfy a consent judgment. We dismiss. Section 512.180, RSMo. 1986, governs appeals from cases tried in the associate circuit court. Because the petition in this case requested damages of less than $5,000, defendant's sole remedy after an adverse judgment was a trial de novo, not an appeal to the appellate court. Id.; State ex rel. JCA Architects, Inc. v. Schmidt, 751 S.W.2d 756, 758 (Mo. banc 1988); State ex rel. Benton v. Airport Limousine Service, 791 S.W.2d 482, 483 (Mo.App. 1990). Appeal dismissed.
