Protective order. Reverses a protective order issued against D.L. for the benefit of a minor, E.M.C., at the request of her next-of-kin, J.H. Finds the evidence does not support the issuance of a protective order. Remands to Clinton Superior Court with instructions to vacate the protective order.

Criminal. Affirms Yapree White’s conviction in Tippecanoe Circuit Court of three counts of Level 5 felony dealing in a narcotic drug and one count of Level 3 felony dealing in a narcotic drug. Finds White’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence amounts to nothing more than a request to assess Sergeant Brad Curwick’s credibility and reweigh the evidence, which the appellate court will not do.
