Indiana Supreme Court
Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor; Duke Industrial Group; Nucor Steel–Indiana; Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, Inc. v. Duke Energy Indiana, LLC; Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission
23S-EX-162
Administrative. Affirms the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission’s approval of Duke Energy Indiana LLC’s Transmission, Distribution, and Storage Improvement Charge plan and its proposed improvements and its finding that the plan was reasonable. Finds that the commission’s order made the required determination that the TDSIC plan’s individual projects are cost-justified. Also finds these determinations are supported by the record, and they track what the statute requires of the commission to approve a TDSIC plan. Justice Derek Molter concurs with a separate opinion in which Chief Justice Loretta Rush joins. Justice Christopher Goff concurs with a separate opinion. Attorneys for appellants: Todd Richardson, Joseph Rompala, Tabitha Balzer, Aaron Schmoll, Jennifer Washburn, William Fine, Anne Becker. Attorneys for appellees: Andrew Wells, Elizabeth Heneghan, Peter Rusthoven, Nicholas Kile, Lauren Box, Kian Hudson, Attorney General Todd Rokita, Benjamin Jones, Beth Heline, Jeremy Comeau, Bradford Hines.

Criminal. Affirms Tippecanoe Superior Court Judge Michael Morrissey’s order denying Lennard Coleman’s motion for sentence modification and denying his motion to reconsider the denial of his motion for sentence modification.

Also finds the trial court neither abused its discretion by denying Coleman’s motion for sentence modification nor by denying his motion to reconsider the denial of his motion for sentence modification. Appellant pro se: Lennard Coleman Sr. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General J.T. Whitehead.
