The children were taken into protective custody on July 17, 1998. The deputy juvenile officer filed her petition on July 27, 1998. The juvenile court also denied Grandmother's petition for a child protection order. Accordingly, the juvenile court filed its written judgment and order of dismissal on October 20, 1999. It is from this judgment and order of dismissal that Grandmother seeks to appeal.
Grandmother attempts to raise five points on appeal.
The Greene County Juvenile Office, respondent in this case, has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal contending, inter alia, that Grandmother's brief fails to comply with Rule 84.04 applicable to appellate review. We note that our supreme court has not promulgated special rules for writing appellate briefs in juvenile cases. Nevertheless, Grandmother's brief fails to follow many of the rules applicable to appellate briefs. It is not for lack of sympathy but rather it is necessitated by the requirement of judicial impartiality, judicial economy and fairness to all parties. Grandmother's brief disregards the mandatory requirements of Rule 84.04.
