The Missouri Court of Appeals on Wednesday ejected Gardner’s appeal, after being disqualified last month from the case by Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer, according to the Washington Examiner.

Gardner was taken off the McCloskey case after she was found to have initiated a “criminal prosecution for political purposes” following reports that she used the charges to send out fundraising emails for her reelection bid, Circuit Judge Thomas Clark said.
