Indiana Court of Appeals
Stardust Ventures, LLC v. Gary Roberts and Teresa Roberts
33A01-1603-PL-604
Civil plenary. Reverses the Henry Circuit Court’s denial of Stardust Ventures LLC’s motion to dismiss a suit brought by Gary and Teresa Roberts to recover $75,000 paid to Stardust. Finds that the purchase agreement is a valid and binding contract between the parties and that Stardust did not waive its right to request arbitration. Remands to the trial court to enter an order compelling arbitration.

49A02-1601-CR-95
Criminal. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s decision to allow the state to reopen its case against James Gilman after closing argument.

Kevin J. Mamon v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
30A05-1511-PC-1942
Post conviction. Affirms the summary denial of Kevin J. Mamon’s petition for post-conviction relief. Finds that Mamon did not present evidence to satisfy his burden of establishing the two prongs of an ineffective assistance claim, so the post-conviction court did not err in denying his requested relief.
