SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE, LP v. Laclede Gas Co.

269 S.W.3d 47, 2008 Mo. App. LEXIS 1481, 2008 WL 4901748

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Laclede Gas Company appeals the judgment in favor of Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P. f/k/a AT & T Missouri, on Southwestern Bell’s negligence claims (Counts I and III), 1 which alleged that Laclede caused damage to Southwestern Bell’s property. With respect to Count I, we find that the trial court’s judgment is supported by substantial evidence and is not against the weight of the evidence. With respect to Count III, we find that the trial court did not err in excluding a witness’s testimony.

An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The trial court’s decision is affirmed under Rule 84.16(b).

1 . In the underlying case, Southwestern Bell filed a six count petition against Laclede. Laclede does not appeal the trial court’s judgment on Counts II, IV, V, or VI.
