Indiana Court of Appeals
State of Indiana v. Braeden Terrell
55A01-1501-CR-9
Criminal. Reverses and remands ruling by trial court that the search of Terrell’s nightstand violated the U.S. and Indiana constitutions. Citing the Indiana Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Vanderkolk v. State, rules Terrell waived any and all of his search and seizure rights under the Fourth Amendment. Also uses the Indiana Supreme Court’s 2005 ruling of Litchfield v. State to conclude the search was not unreasonable under the totality of circumstance and therefore did not violate the Indiana Constitution.

Domestic relation. Affirms order dissolving marriage of Rose and Gilbert Rynberk. Finds the court did not abuse its discretion in denying wife’s motions to reopen discovery. Also rules court did not err in finding the husband’s three bonuses were not marital assets.
