- ourt Order Issued Appellant DAP Products, Inc. appeals from an order, not denominated judgment, denying their Rule 74.05(d) motion to vacate interlocutory order of default. Appellant's notice of appeal argues this order is an appealable final order in that proceedings under Rule 74.05(d) are an independent action which necessarily conclude in an independent judgment. See Harris v. Dep 't of Corr. , 717 S.W.3d 251,257 (Mo. App. W.D. 2025) (citing Steele v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 688 S.W.3d 192,200 (Mo. banc 2024)). It is the duty of appellate courts to address threshold jurisdictional questions before proceeding to the merits. Wilson v. City of St. Louis, 600 S.W.3d 763, 765 (Mo. banc 2020). "The right to appeal is purely statutory and, where a statute does not give a right to appeal, no right exists." Id. at 767. Generally, an appeal may only be taken from a final judgment, disposing of all claims and all parties involved in a case and leaving nothing for future adjudication. Flower Valley, LLC v. Zimmerman, 575 S.W.3d 497, 501 (Mo. App. E.D. 2019) (citing Rule 74.01); see also 512.020, RSMo. An order granting or denying a motion to set aside a default judgment under Rule 74.05(d), as an independent action, but must still meet the requirements of Rule 74.01(a) before appeal - including the requirement that the such an order be entered as signed writing denominated a judgment or decree. Robertson v. Rosner, 641 S.W.3d 436,440 (Mo. App. W.D. 2022) (citing Kelly-Patel v. Wensel, 588 S.W.3d 604,608 (Mo. App. E.D. 2019)). Requiring an order to be denominated a judgment for appeal is not a mere formality but is instead intended to establish a bright line test to assist the litigants and the appellate courts by clearly distinguishing when orders and rulings of the circuit court are intended to be final and appealable and when the circuit court sought to retain jurisdiction over an issue. City of St. Louis v. Hughes, 950 S.W.2d 850, 853 (Mo. banc 1997). Appellant is directed to file a supplemental legal file containing a document that complies with Rule 74.01(a) or otherwise show cause on or before January 9, 2026, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of a final, appealable judgment.
