Chartier v. Ham

250 S.W.3d 385, 2008 Mo. App. LEXIS 261, 2008 WL 495451

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Wayne and Svitlana Ham (collectively Defendants) appeal from the trial court’s interlocutory judgment and order in partition ordering the partition and sale of certain real property owned by Wayne Ham (Ham) and Ann Chartier (Chartier) as tenants in common, and denying Defendants’ counterclaim to quiet title to the disputed property by adverse possession. On appeal, Defendants argue the trial court erred in granting the Plaintiffs’ petition for partition of real property and in denying Defendants’ counterclaim for adverse possession because Defendants provided sufficient proof of adverse possession against Ann and Dennis Chartier (collectively Plaintiffs), as co-tenants, to defeat Plaintiffs’ petition for partition of real property. We affirm.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the record on appeal, and find the claim of error to be without merit. An extended opinion would have no precedential value or serve any jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
