Rocky Dixon Slaughter v. Director of Revenue8/17/1999
Following Plaintiff's arrest for driving while intoxicated, his driver's license was revoked for refusing to take a breath test. Thereafter he sought judicial review under Section 577.041, RSMo Supp. 1997. When Defendant did not file an answer within the time ordinarily allowed, a default judgment was entered requiring that Defendant reinstate Plaintiff's driver's license. Defendant appeals.
Judicial review under Section 577.041 does not require the Director of Revenue to file an answer or other responsive pleadings. Nguyen v. Director of Revenue, 900 S.W.2d 238, 239 (Mo.App. 1995); Gothard v. Spradling, 586 S.W.2d 443, 446 (Mo.App. 1979). See also Dudley v. Director of Revenue, 926 S.W.2d 943, 944 (Mo.App. 1996); Daus v. Director of Revenue, 840 S.W.2d 892, 893 (Mo.App. 1992).
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
