Peoples Bank v. Carter

JOSEPH M. ELLIS, Chief Judge.

This is an appeal of a final judgment on a petition for payment of a promissory note rendered, after a bench trial, by the Associate Division of the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, in favor of Respondent Peoples Bank (“Bank”) and against Appellant Aandrea Carter (“Carter”) for the sum of $19,607.24. Carter assigns a single point of trial court error, arguing that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to entertain the petition. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
