998 S.W.2d 44 | Mo. Ct. App. | 1999
ORDER
Frank Zerjav (Plaintiff) appeals from a judgment of the trial court dismissing without prejudice
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal. No error of
. Because Plaintiff cannot re-file his action due to the statute of limitations, the dismissal is effectively with prejudice, and therefore is a final appealable judgment. Nicholson v. Nicholson, 685 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Mo.App. E.D.1985).
. Defendants’ motion to dismiss this appeal, on grounds that the order appealed from was not originally denominated as a ''judgment,” is denied. The record in this case shows that Appellant did obtain a properly amended document denominated "judgment,” directly from the trial judge himself, which was then filed in a supplemental legal file as ordered by this Court, prior to the appeal being taken under submission.
