Gerken v. Missouri Department of Social Services, Family Support Division

MARK D. PFEIFFER, Presiding Judge.

A class composed of pensioners (“Pensioners”) of Missouri’s Blind Pension Fund (“Fund”) appeal from the Circuit Court of Cole County’s (“trial court”) partial judgment calculating damages. The trial court certified its partial judgment as final for purposes of appeal pursuant to Rule 74.01(b). We conclude that the partial judgment did not dispose of a distinct judicial unit and did not otherwise comply with our mandate on the most recent appeal of this case. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal and remand the cause to the trial court for further proceedings.
