Joseph C. Dickerson Jr. v. Genya Toney and State of Indiana
24A-RS-1492
Reciprocal support. Affirms Marion Circuit Court Magistrate Susan Boatwright’s order that found Joseph Dickerson Jr.’s child support obligation for A.D.T. did not terminate in 2014 as he thought. Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting the state’s motion to correct error or denying Dickerson’s Trial Rule 60(B) motion for relief from the Indiana support order. Appellant pro se: Joseph C. Dickerson Jr. Attorneys for intervenor: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Marjorie Lawyer-Smith.
Jacob Adams, in his official capacity as Director of the Indiana Department of Veterans’ Affairs v. Hamilton County, Indiana
24A-PL-1384
Civil plenary. Affirms Marion Superior Court Judge John Hanley’s order of summary judgment for Hamilton County on the county’s complaint for declaratory judgment and the trial court’s denial of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ director’s motion for summary judgment. In its complaint, the county sought to clarify the director’s statutory obligations with respect to the supervision of county-hired service officers. Finds the county has standing under the Indiana Declaratory Judgment Act to pursue its claims. Also finds the instant dispute is appropriate for judicial resolution. Finally, finds the trial court correctly interpreted the Indiana Code to impose on the director an obligation to “supervise” county service officers. Attorneys for appellant: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General Sierra Murray. Attorneys for appellee: Adam Willfond, Blake Burgan, Kristine Gordon, Donald Morgan.
