Kim M. Lloyd v. Lawrence Kuznar and Trustees of Purdue University
21A-CT-1338
Civil tort. Affirms the Allen Superior Court’s denial of Kim Lloyd’s Trial Rule 60(B) motion to the extent it sought to set aside the dismissal of her complaint against Lawrence Kuznar and Trustees of Purdue University. Finds Lloyd cannot revive her claims because she stopped participating in the litigation and failed to keep the trial court apprised of her address, which resulted in their dismissal. Finds the trial court erred in denying Lloyd’s Trial Rule 60(B) motion with respect to the default judgment entered against her on Kuznar’s counterclaim and reverses on that portion. Remands for further proceedings.
