Appeal from an action to recover for property damage to a truck leased by respondent Riverside Chemical Company. On December 6, 1976, a Scott County jury returned a verdict in favor of respondent company in the amount of $1,404.06.
Thereafter, the following entry was made on December 6, 1976:
"WHEREFORE, in accordance with the verdict it is ordered, adjuged (sic) and decreed that plaintiff have and recover from the defendant the sum of $1404.06."
The quoted material may suffice as a minute or docket entry but fails to constitute a judgment from which an appeal may be taken, notwithstanding its cognomination as the "Judgment" of the court. Cochran v. DeShazo, 538 S.W.2d 598, 601(6) (Mo.App.1976).
The appeal is dismissed.
All concur.
