Elam v. Dawson

VICTOR C. HOWARD, Chief Judge.

In recent years, Gerald Elam (Elam) has had significant contact with the Missouri Court of Appeals. 1 He currently appeals a lower court’s dismissal of a replev-in action which he brought against Sheriff Robert Dawson (Sheriff). Purportedly acting as his attorney-in-fact, Elam’s parents signed a compromise settlement agreement and filed a voluntary dismissal of the replevin action. Proceeding pro se, Elam now appeals a final judgment of the circuit court dismissing the action and denying his motion for relief from the judgment pursuant to Rule 74.06(b). 2
