Gage Peters v. Dennis J. Quakenbush, II, and Christina Reagle
24A-PL-405
Civil plenary. Affirms the Hamilton Superior Court’s judgment in favor of Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis J. Quakenbush, II and the Indiana Department of Correction’s motion to dismiss Gage Peters’ complaint seeking a declaration that, under Indiana law, he is required to register as a sex offender only for a period of 10 years. Finds Florida imposed a lawful lifetime registration requirement, and Peters was subject to it, pursuant to the other-jurisdiction provision, when he moved to Indiana.

Judge L. Mark Bailey concurs in result with separate opinion. Judge Paul Mathias dissents with separate opinion.

Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Sarah Evans Barker. Affirms the district court’s granting of summary judgment in favor of the State of Indiana and Joanie Crum against claims alleged by Rene Galvan, Jr. that he was terminated from employment based on his race and sex and was retaliated against based on his complaints of discrimination. Finds the record reveals complaints regarding Galvan’s job performance by third parties who interacted with him, and he has not argued that those complainants themselves possessed any discriminatory motive.
