Indiana Court of Appeals
Timothy Long v. State of Indiana
49A02-1105-CR-381
Criminal. Affirms sentence for Class A misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated and being a habitual substance offender. Because the master commissioner presided at Long’s guilty plea hearing, and not at a criminal trial, she did not have the authority to enter a final judgment on Long’s sentence. Marion Superior Judge Linda Brown did not err by rejecting the master commissioner’s sentence and imposing her own sentence.
Natalie E. Murrell v. State of Indiana
67A01-1106-CR-251
Criminal. The trial court did not err by rejecting Murrell’s defense of duress. Murrell’s Class C felony conviction of attempting to provide cellular telephones to an inmate does not violate the proportionality clause of the Indiana Constitution. Remands with instructions for the trial court to correct its written sentencing order to impose concurrent sentences.
Kevin Walsh v. Chris Sweeney Construction, Inc. (NFP)
17A05-1107-PL-370
Civil plenary. Affirms order foreclosing Chris Sweeney Construction’s mechanic’s lien on Walsh’s home, awarding Sweeny Construction unjust enrichment damages for unpaid labor services and attorney fees and denying Walsh’s counterclaims. Remands for correction of scrivener’s error.
Anthony Earl Coakley v. State of Indiana (NFP)
02A03-1107-CR-358

47A01-1104-CR-201
