This Rule 130.09, in part, is inconsistent with section 487.030, RSMo. It requires entry by a judge on all judgments. It also authorizes the judge to adopt, amend, modify, or reject the findings and recommendations of the commissioner and sets forth procedures to be followed in each instance. To the extent inconsistent with this Rule 130.09, section 487.030, RSMo, is superseded
