In the Matter of the Marriage of Emily G. McConnell v. Cedric J. Booker (mem. dec.)
22A-DC-2348
Domestic relations with children. Affirms the Warrick Superior Court’s dissolution decree, which granted parenting time to Cedric J. Booker that deviated from the Indiana Parenting Guidelines. Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion in its parenting time order or when it denied Emily McConnell’s motion to correct error.
Julio Serrano v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-CR-2177
Criminal. Reverses Julio Serrano’s adjudication as a habitual offender, which is part of his conviction of Level 4 felony unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. Finds the state failed to present sufficient evidence to support the enhancement. Remands for resentencing.
Christopher Richardson v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-CR-2580
Criminal. Affirms Christopher Richardson’s sentence to an aggregate of 60 years for his convictions of two counts of Class A felony child molesting. Finds the Union Circuit Court did not err in ordering the sentences to be served consecutively. Also finds the sentence is appropriate.
P.H. v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-JV-2219
Juvenile. Affirms the LaGrange Circuit Court’s order committing P.H. to the Indiana Department of Correction. Finds no abuse of the juvenile court’s discretion. Judge Patricia Riley dissents with separate opinion.
C.S. v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-JV-1400
Juvenile. Affirms the Jay Circuit Court’s denial of C.S.’s Trial Rule 60(B) motion for relief from judgment, seeking relief from his delinquency adjudication for attempted Level 4 felony child molesting if committed by an adult. Finds the record does not establish that the waiver of C.S.’s rights prior to speaking with police was invalid, and his delinquency adjudication was not rendered void due to lack of advisements or express waiver thereof, so he was not entitled to relief under Trial Rule 60(B)(6). Also finds C.S. knew his rights and understood he was giving them up by admitting to the alleged conduct, so he has not established that he is entitled to relief under Rule 60(B)(8).

22A-JT-1730

22A-CR-2246
