Indiana Court of Appeals
In Re: the Grandparent Visitation of G.S., J.S. v. M.S.
30A01-1608-DR-1801
Domestic relation. Reverses in part a Hancock Circuit Court order mandating G.S. be permitted to have contact with other paternal relatives when participating in grandparent visitation with M.S. Finds there is no statutory authority for a trial court to order a child to have visitation with anyone other than a grandparent in the face of a parent’s objections.
Edward Taylor v. State of Indiana
32A05-1608-CR-1720
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Edward Taylor’s motion to suppress evidence from a blood draw. Finds the Hendricks Superior Court did not err in denying Taylor’s motion to suppress evidence because the evidence was obtained via a valid search warrant despite the fact that the officer had in hand only an electronic copy at the time of the blood draw.
S.S. v. State of Indiana
49A05-1605-JV-1070
Juvenile. Reverses the Marion Superior Court’s order requiring S.S. to pay restitution. The juvenile court abused its discretion when it ordered S.S. to pay restitution after it found that he did not have the ability to pay. Vacates the portion of the dispositional order dealing with the payment of restitution.

50A05-1608-CR-1836

Finds that the Marshall Superior Court improperly calculated jail time credit owed to Rubio. Remands for resentencing.

49A05-1604-CT-737
Civil tort. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Pangea Real Estate, PP Indy 6 LLC and other unknown persons. Finds summary judgment was properly granted to the defendants because they met their burden to designate evidence showing that they were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Also finds Beverly Twilley failed to meet her burden of demonstrating any genuine issue of material fact.

46A04-1511-CR-2040

Affirms Kenyatta Robinson’s convictions of three counts of aiding, inducing or causing dealing in cocaine, one count as a Class B felony and two counts as Level 4 felonies, his status as an habitual offender and sentence to an aggregate of 36 years executed in the Indiana Department of Correction. Finds the evidence is sufficient and that Robinson’s sentence is not inappropriate.

54A01-1609-JT-2158
