Head Matter:
In the Matter of Walter Lee DUDLEY, Respondent, v. Drew DUDLEY, Appellant.
No. 44370.

July 27, 1982.
Carolyn J. Biermann, Clayton, for appellant.

Opinion:
CRIST, Judge.
Appeal dismissed.
Dissolution decree was entered April 1, 1981. Appellant's post-trial motions, including a motion for a new trial were filed April 13,1981. The trial court denied all of appellant's post-trial motions on April 24, 1981. Judgment for purposes of appeal became final when the post-trial motions were ruled upon. Rule 81.05(a). Appellant's no tice of appeal was not filed until May 11, 1981, more than 10 days after judgment became final. We therefore lack jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. Rule 81.04(a); Johnson v. Summers, 596 S.W.2d 78, 79 (Mo.App.1980).
Dismissed.
REINHARD, P. J., and SNYDER, J., concur.
