Desmond Davidson v. State of Indiana
49S02-1001-CR-41
Criminal. Affirms trial court and agrees with Court of Appeals.
Finds that upon the review of sentence appropriateness under Appellate Rule 7, appellate courts may consider all aspects of
the penal consequences imposed by the trial judge in sentencing the defendant. Disapproves of the contrary views expressed
in Eaton, 825 N.E.2d at 1290–91; Pagan, 809 N.E.2d at 926; and Cox, 792 N.E.2d at 904.
Indiana Family and Social Services Administration v. Alice V. Meyer, et al.
69S01-0905-CV-233
Civil. Unanimously holds the trial court has no authority
to grant a motion for an extension of time to file the record if the motion is filed after the time for filing the record
and any previous extensions have expired. Supreme Court is divided as to whether a case may go forward where a full record
of proceedings has not been filed. The Court of Appeals decision therefore remains in place and the trial court‘s order
remanding this case to FSSA is affirmed.
