Indiana Court of Appeals
In re the Paternity of M.R.A. and L.R.C.: M.A. v. B.C.
32A01-1409-JP-386
Juvenile. Reverses trial court order for child support, remanding for consideration of mother’s petition for modification of child support. Reverses judgment against father for reimbursement of child care expenses. Affirms judgment against father for mother’s attorney fees. The trial court applied an incorrect legal standard to determine child support and its judgment regarding child care expenses is unsupported by the evidence.
City of Beech Grove v. Cathy J. Beloat
49A02-1409-CT-605
Civil tort. Reverses denial of Beech Grove’s motion for summary judgment. Finds the city was covered by discretionary function immunity because it was in the planning stages of reconstructing a portion of Main Street rather than making piecemeal repairs. Judge Margret Robb dissents. She argues that excusing the city from liability for not filling a pothole is taking too broad a view of discretionary function immunity.
Eric Williams v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
49A02-1410-CR-761
Criminal. Affirms conviction of public intoxication, a Class B misdemeanor.
Kenny Weaver v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
49A02-1412-CR-837
Criminal. Reverses conviction of possession of a synthetic drug look-alike substance, a Class A misdemeanor. Finds the only evidence that the substance was “spice” was a statement Weaver made to a police officer which was insufficient to prove possession.
Christopher Lee Thompson v. Natasha Nicole Smith (mem. dec.)
32A04-1412-JP-556
Juvenile paternity. Affirms trial court’s finding of Thompson’s counsel, Stacy Kelley, in contempt for willfully failing to comply with the court’s order to submit the Income Withholding Order within seven days. Also affirms order that Kelley pay Smith’s attorney’s fees incurred in securing compliance.
Christopher W. Hovis v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
