Indiana Court of Appeals
Carla Miller v. Indiana Gas Company, Inc.
No. 25A-CT-866
Civil. Appeal from the Clark Circuit Court, Magistrate William A. Dawkins. Affirms the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Indiana Gas Company on Miller’s product liability claim arising from a 2019 natural gas explosion that destroyed a neighboring home and injured Miller. Holds the trial court did not abuse its discretion in considering the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission’s Final Incident Report and accompanying affidavits, concluding the report was not hearsay because it contained the findings of its authors, who personally observed the investigation, and was properly authenticated. Further holds there was no genuine issue of material fact that the natural gas was properly odorized under 49 C.F.R. § 192.625, where undisputed odorator readings taken near the residence were well within the federal 1% detection threshold and Miller’s designated evidence that occupants did not smell gas did not establish a regulatory violation or defect under the Indiana Product Liability Act. Concludes Miller failed to designate evidence that odor fade was implicated or that Indiana Gas had a duty to warn of it — particularly where the service lines had been in use for years and no regulation required such a warning — and therefore Indiana Gas was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Appellant’s attorneys: Ashton Rose Smith; Emily A. DeVuono. Appellee’s attorneys: Thomas J. Costakis; Libby Yin Goodknight; Hilary K. Leighty; Blake P. Holler.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Reid J. Cowan v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-1744
Criminal. Interlocutory appeal from the Grant Superior Court, Judge Nathan D. Meeks. Affirms the denial of Cowan’s motion challenging venue on a Level 4 felony child solicitation charge. Holds that Grant County is a proper venue under Indiana Code section 35-32-2-1(d) because Cowan’s alleged travel to Grant County to meet a person he believed to be a child constituted an act committed in furtherance of the charged offense. Rejects Cowan’s argument that the offense was complete at the time of the online communications and that travel was merely a sentencing enhancement, distinguishing prior case law decided before the legislature amended the statute to make travel an element of Level 4 felony child solicitation. Concludes that because travel is an element of the charged Level 4 offense, venue in Grant County is proper. Appellant’s attorneys: Michael C. Cunningham; Kelly N. Pyle. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
