The Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer to four cases and denied 13 for the week ending Aug. 30, including a case involving a Hendricks County juvenile adjudicated for committing multiple felonies.
In J.Q.R. v. State of Indiana, 24S-JV-298, the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the Hendricks Superior Court’s adjudication of J.Q.R. as a delinquent child for committing acts that, if committed by an adult, would be level 1 felony dealing in a controlled substance resulting in death, level 5 felony dealing in a narcotic drug, and level 6 felony possession of a narcotic drug.
The appellate court found the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting J.Q.R.’s statements to police or by granting the state’s request for a continuance.
The trial court made J.Q.R. a ward of the Department of Correction until he turned 18 years old.
According to court records, oral arguments have been scheduled for Oct. 31 at 9 a.m. for the case at the Indiana Supreme Court Courtroom.
The high court also granted transfer to Perry County, Indiana, et.al. v. Keith D. Huck, 24S-PL-297, CHINS: J.S. v. Indiana Department of Child Services, 24S-JC-300 and Emily Tingley v. First Financial Bank, As Trustee of Land Trust No. 428, 24S-PL-299.
In the dispute between Tingley and the bank, the appellate court reversed the Vigo Superior Court’s order granting First Financial Bank’s Trial Rule 12(B)(1) motion to dismiss a complaint filed by Tingley.
The appellate court found the trial court’s grant of First Financial’s motion to dismiss under Trial Rule 12(B)(1) was in error because the court had subject matter jurisdiction over the class of case at issue. It remanded the case for further proceedings.
In cases denied transfer, all justices concurred except in Brent Taylor v. Allen Board of County Commissioners, et. al., 23A-CT-131, where Chief Justice Loretta Rush voted to grant the petition to transfer.
Justices Christopher Goff and Derek Molter also voted to grant transfer to Jaspreet Singh v. State of Indiana, 23A-CR-2453.
