Bannister v. Pulaski Financial Corp‪.‬

The plaintiff, Bonnie Bannister, appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County dismissing S & P Properties, Inc., the buyer of the plaintiffs former home, from her action against Pulaski Financial Corporation and Pulaski Service Corporation for wrongful foreclosure, breach of contract, and negligent misrepresentation. Upon dismissing S & P Properties, the trial court designated its decision a final judgment for purposes of appeal, pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 74.01(b). However, such designation was improper because the trial court failed to dispose of one claim, or a distinct judicial unit, when it dismissed the buyer from the plaintiffs claim. Therefore, we dismiss the plaintiffs appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
