7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America, ex rel., Judith Robinson, and State of Indiana v. Healthnet Inc.
23–2728
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge James Sweeney. Affirms the district court’s holdings that it lacked jurisdiction over Count III of Dr. Judith Robinson’s amended complaint, on behalf of the United States and the State of Indiana, against HealthNet alleging violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act and the Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act and that the settlement was fair, adequate, and reasonable. Finds that the district court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting Robinson’s challenges to the fairness of the settlement agreement. Also finds that because Robinson has provided no other argument against the district court’s analysis or claimed shortcomings in the district court’s procedure, the circuit court finds the settlement agreement to be fair, adequate, and reasonable under the circumstances. Attorney for plaintiffs: Robert Saint, Lawrence Carcare, Frances Barrow, Benjamin Jones. Attorneys for defendant: Libby Goodnight, Marc Quigley.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Andrew D. Wallace v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-1436
Criminal. Affirms Marion County Superior Court Judge Charnette Garner’s judgement finding Andrew Wallace guilty of battery resulting in bodily injury and resisting law enforcement. Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted testimony regarding Eric Johnson’s show-up identification of Wallace into evidence, nor did doing so violate Wallace’s due process rights under the United States Constitution. Also finds the state presented sufficient evidence at trial to support his conviction for resisting law enforcement as a Class A misdemeanor. Attorneys for appellant: Talisha Griffin, Steven Halbert. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General Steven Hosler.
