Indiana Court of Appeals
Deundre Rashad Kearney v. State of Indiana (mem.dec.)
45A03-1611-CR-2657

Darius Dashawn Anderson v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
71A04-1611-CR-2693

Robert Jeffers v. Keith Butts (mem. dec.)
33A05-1611-MI-2536
Miscellaneous. Reverses the dismissal of Robert Jeffers’ pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus relief in which he claimed he had been improperly denied two years of educational credit time for completion of a bachelor’s degree. Finds the Department of Correction may not unilaterally and retroactively void credits that have already been accepted and applied toward an offender’s degree. Remands with instructions to the Henry Circuit Court to send the case to the DOC for a review and determination of whether Grace College originally accepted and transferred all of Jeffers’ academic credits earned from Ball State University and, if so, to determine whether with those credits Jeffers has completed the requirements for a bachelor’s degree, as well as the other statutory requirements for earning the educational credit.
Casey Mae Measles v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
46A03-1607-CR-1635
Criminal. Affirms Casey Mae Measles’ sentence to an 11-year term in the Department of Correction for her conviction of Level 3 felony aggravated battery. Finds the LaPorte Circuit Court acted within its discretion in sentencing Measles. Also finds Measles has failed to prove that her 11-year sentence is inappropriate in light of the nature of her offense and her character.
Shane Weedling v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
50A03-1611-CR-2544
Criminal. Affirms Shane E. Weedling’s 65-year sentence for murder. Finds the sentence is not inappropriate.
Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the State of Indiana v. Adam Staton (mem.dec)
57A03-1608-MI-1946
Miscellaneous. Affirms the Noble Superior Court’s order granting specialized driving privileges to Adam Staton. Finds any challenge based upon whether the lifetime suspension was administratively issued or court-ordered is waived because it was not timely made.

85A02-1611-CR-2709
