Indiana Court of Appeals
John Barker and Specialty Limos, LLC v. Jason Price
24A02-1506-PL-626
Civil plenary. Reverses in part and affirms in part summary judgment in favor of Price in a contract dispute concerning the sale of a van. The trial court did not err when it concluded Price delivered a valid certificate of title even though the title was not in his name. Reverses summary judgment on the issue of whether a discrepancy in the model year of the van created a material issue. On remand, the court will consider not only the $2,000 deposit agreement but also extrinsic evidence to determine whether the model year of the van was material to their agreement.
Derrell Woods v. State of Indiana
20A03-1506-PC-688
Post conviction. Reverses denial of amended petition for post-conviction relief. Majority finds Woods did show that his now-deceased defense attorney did not tell him about a plea offer which he would have accepted instead of going to trial. Remands for the court and parties to proceed as if Woods had just received the offer. If he accepts the offer but the trial court rejects it, then Woods will have a new trial. Judge Melissa May dissents, arguing Woods did not meet the burden of proof required to reverse.
