7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Elizabeth A. Acevedo, et al. v. Professional Transportation, Incorporated, and Ronald D. Romain
23-2813
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Evansville Division. Judge Richard Young. Dismisses appeal brought by Professional Transportation employees. Finds the circuit court lacks appellate jurisdiction in the case. Also finds there is a lack of an appellant and the Fair Labor Standards Act requires each plaintiff in a collective action to consent in writing to join the suit and file the consent with the court in which the action is brought.
Indiana Supreme Court
State of Indiana v. Franciscan Alliance, Inc. f/k/a Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc., et.al.
24S-PL-118
Civil plenary. Reverses a Johnson Superior Court jury verdict awarding $680,000 plus interest to Franciscan Alliance and $1,500,000 plus interest to SCP. Finds the trial court committed reversible error in admitting Franciscan’s and SCP’s evidence of damages related to the Fairview Road intersection closure, as that evidence led to the jury awarding both parties non-compensable damages. Also finds that because each appraiser provided a different amount owed to Franciscan for its 0.632-acre strip of land, the court remands for proceedings to determine the just compensation owed to Franciscan for the land taken. Attorneys for appellant, State of Indiana: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorneys General Frances Barrow, Benjamin Jones. Attorneys for Appellee, Franciscan Alliance , Inc. Paul Vink, Seema Shah. Attorneys for Appellee SCP 2010 – C36 – 018 , LLC: Andrielle Metzel, Ryan Simatic.
