Domestic relation. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s order dissolving Dina Hasten Cohen’s marriage to Itamar Cohen and the distribution of assets of the marital estate between them.

18A-CR-2105

Roger A. Carter v. Jennifer Carter (mem. dec.)
18A-DR-377
Domestic relation. Affirms the Allen Superior Court’s dissolution of Roger Carter’s marriage to Jennifer Carter and its subsequent order denying Roger’s motion to correct error. Finds the trial court did not err in determining what property to include in the marital pot; in valuing several marital assets; in ordering Roger to pay the majority of Jennifer’s attorney’s fees, and; in declining to reduce an equalization payment due to Jennifer by the amount that Roger paid to her in provisional payments while the dissolution was pending.

18A-CT-2328
Civil tort. Reverses the St. Joseph Superior Court’s order granting the City of South Bend Fire Department’s motion for summary judgment on Evelyn M. Gregory’s negligence claim. Finds a genuine issue of material fact exists, so summary judgment was inappropriate. Judge Elaine Brown dissents with separate opinion.
Jared Hunt v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
18A-CR-1003
Criminal. Affirms Jared Hunt’s convictions for Level 4 felony possession of a narcotic drug and Class B misdemeanor false informing. Finds the Howard Superior Court did not err in denying Hunt’s motion for discharge and did not abuse its discretion in admitting testimony that Hunt gave a false name to the police. Also finds Hunt’s additional claims of evidentiary error are waived and, waiver notwithstanding, harmless. Finally, finds Hunt identified no protectable Fourth Amendment interest in identifying himself to the police as another individual.

18A-CR-1976

Finds the Marion Superior Court did not err in accepting a waiver of the right to counsel. Also finds Warren has not identified reversible error with regard to his cross-examination of Detective Paul Buchman, and any error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Finally, finds there is sufficient evidence to support the theft conviction.
