Heading: Proper procedure to review court of appeals order

Text: In this case, Precision seeks to preserve its appeal bonds and liens to enforce the judgment it originally won. It contests whether a settlement exists. Because the court of appeals dismissed the appeal as moot, Precision sought to transfer the case to this Court. However, in its brief, Precision notes that this Court has jurisdiction under Mo. Const. article V, section 4. That constitutional section does not relate to the transfer of cases; transfer is authorized in Mo. Const. article V, section 10. As Cornerstone notes, on transfer this Court reviews the case as if it were on original appeal. Rule 83.09. Precision is seeking review of the court of appeals' order-not the trial court's judgment. In such a case, the proper remedy is to seek an original remedial writ under Mo. Const. article V, section 4. Although Precision sought the wrong remedy, this Court may treat its application for transfer as a petition for an original remedial writ. See State v. Larson, 79 S.W.3d 891, 893 (Mo. banc 2002).
