Glendale Shooting Club, Inc. v. Landolt
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the circuit court dissolving a permanent injunction placing restrictions on Glendale Shooting Club, Inc.'s firing range operations, holding that the circuit court erred in entering summary judgment.
In 1987, the circuit court entered injunctive relief limiting operation of the firing range. In 1988, the General Assembly enacted Mo. Rev. Stat. 537.294, which prohibited courts from enjoining the use or operating of firearm ranges on the basis of noise or sound emission. In 1998, Glendale moved to dissolve the permanent injunction. The circuit court dismissed the motion. The court of appeals reversed and remanded the case for the circuit court to consider the effect of section 537.294 on the enforcement of the injunction. Following remand, Glendale entered into a settlement agreement precluding further litigation over the injunction for twenty years. After the twenty-year period expired, Glendale filed another petition to dissolve the permanent injunction pursuant to section 537.294. The circuit court granted summary judgment for Glendale. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment below, holding that summary judgment was improper because Glenadale did not assert uncontroverted material facts demonstrating that the change in law rendered the continued enforcement of the injunction inequitable.
