Indiana Court of Appeals
Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, Inc., Save the Valley, Inc., Sierra Club, and Valley Watch, Inc. v. Duke Energy Indiana, Inc., Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor
93A02-1305-EX-394
Agency action. Remands to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission its order approving Duke’s request to include power plant construction costs of the Edwardsport coal-gasification plant from Oct. 1, 2011, to March 31, 2012, in a rate adjustment rider. Remands for findings as to whether a delay was chargeable to Duke and, if so, what impact the delay had on Duke’s customers’ rates. Also remands for a clear statement of the policy and evidentiary considerations underlying IURC’s determination that 50 percent of the plant was deemed in-service.
Department of Financial Institutions, State of Indiana v. Michael Massey
49A02-1401-MI-16
Miscellaneous. Reverses trial court’s ruling that the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions exceeded its authority when it denied a mortgage lender originator’s license to Massey. Finds the express language in the federal Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act gives the authority for granting mortgage licenses to the states. In addition, concludes the department is permitted to deny a license to an applicant who does not meet its character and fitness requirements. The Department of Financial Institutions denied Massey a mortgage lender originator’s license because he had been convicted of several crimes.

Judge Melissa May dissented and would affirm the trial court, holding the undisputed facts lead her to conclude the hospital did everything it could to deal with the weather on the morning in question.
