In the Matter of J.B. (Minor Child) K.C. and S.C. v. Indiana Department of Child Services
24A-JC-1124
Juvenile CHINS. Affirms the Wayne Superior Court’s denial of foster parents K.C. and S.C’s motion to intervene and petition for a preliminary injunction barring the placement of J.B. for adoption. Finds the trial court correctly determined that the foster parents had no right to participate in the CHINS proceeding as a party and were not entitled to a preliminary injunction.
Reginald D. Akins, Jr. v. State of Indiana
23A-CR-2893
Criminal. Affirms the Delaware Circuit Court’s denial of Reginald Atkins’ motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Finds Akins was proceeding pro se at his change of plea hearing and it is well settled that pro se litigants are held to the same legal standards as licensed attorneys. Also finds Akins, by pleading guilty, both admitted the facts as alleged by the state and waived his right to a trial.
