Opinion
No. 10753.
October 24, 1977.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT, STODDARD COUNTY, FLAKE L. McHANEY, J.
Donald R. Rhodes, Bloomfield, for plaintiff-respondent.
James E. McGhee, Parsons Mitchell, Dexter, for defendants-appellants.
This is an appeal from an action on a promissory note. On April 21, 1977, a Stoddard County jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $4,333.27.
On the same day, the following entry was made:
"Judgment in favor of plaintiff and vs. defendants in total sum of $4333.27 in accordance with jury verdict. Cost taxed vs. defendants."
The quoted material may suffice as a minute or docket entry but fails to constitute a judgment from which an appeal may be taken, notwithstanding its cognomination as a "judgment." Cochran v. DeShazo, 538 S.W.2d 598, 601[6] (Mo.App. 1976).
The appeal is dismissed.
All concur.
