ROGGER v. << (1998)

Appellant, Robert L. Rogger, appeals from the order entered by a family court commissioner in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County denying appellant's motion to find respondent, Tosha Rogger, in contempt of a prior court order.¹  We dismiss.

Recently, our Supreme Court ruled documents which purport to be appealable judgments must be signed by a judge as mandated by our state constitution.   Slay v. Slay, 965 S.W.2d 845, 845 (Mo.banc 1998).   Here, the document, though denominated a “judgment,” is signed only by the commissioner who heard the case.   Accordingly, there is no final judgment from which the parties may appeal.   The appeal is dismissed.
