Opinion
No. 57001.
June 26, 1990. Motion for Rehearing and/or Transfer to Supreme Court Denied August 7, 1990.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY, WILLIAM M. CORRIGAN, J.
James M. Martin, Kurt David Schultz, St. Louis, for defendants-appellants.
Alan C. Kohn, John A. Klobasa, Andrew M. Burns, St. Louis, for plaintiff-respondent.
Defendants appeal from a summary judgment for plaintiff on his petition for dissolution of defendant Missouri corporation. We dismiss.
Defendants' sole point on appeal follows:
The trial court erred in granting [plaintiff's] motion to dismiss [defendants'] counter claim, in striking portions of [defendants'] pleadings and in granting summary judgment on behalf of [plaintiff].
The point fails to state wherein and why the court's rulings are erroneous, a fatal violation of Rule 84.04(d). See, e.g., Thummel v. King, 570 S.W.2d 679, 684-87 (Mo. banc 1978). Defendants have also failed to set out a fair and concise statement of the facts without argument in their brief, a violation of Rule 84.04(c). See, Porter's Ready-Built, Inc. v. Plummer, 685 S.W.2d 236, 237 (Mo.App. 1985). It is appropriate for this Court to refuse to review an appeal based on a defective brief. See, McKee v. Wilmarth, 771 S.W.2d 955, 956-957 (Mo.App. 1989).
Defendants' appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
