Indiana Court of Appeals

Larz
A. Elliott v. Rush Memorial Hospital, et al.

70A01-0911-CV-553
Civil. Affirms dismissal of Larz Elliott’s proposed medical malpractice complaint against Rush Memorial Hospital, Carrie
Tressler, and Dr. Philip Kingma. Elliott had alleged battery and negligence with respect to the forced catheterization to
retrieve a urine sample after a Rush County sheriff’s deputy transported him to Rush Memorial Hospital and represented
a court order at the hospital to retrieve a blood sample and a urine sample. Finds trial court erred in concluding that the
defendants enjoy complete statutory immunity from any civil liability related to his claims of battery and negligence, but
also finds Elliot’s claims fall outside the parameters of the Medical Malpractice Act because he was not a “patient”
of the defendants, and that his catheterization clearly was not for his own medical benefit.

Sam's
East Inc. City of Greenwood Board of Zoning Appeals v. United Energy Corporation Inc. d/b/a Greenwood Sunoco


41A04-0909-CV-545
Civil. Affirms trial court’s reversal of the decision of the City of Greenwood Board of Zoning Appeals to issue a variance
to Sam’s East Inc. to have a gas station near a Sam’s Club location in Greenwood. Since receiving approval for
the gas station in 2005, Sam’s Club had encountered an environmental issue that delayed building plans, and the permit
had expired before Sam’s constructed the gas station. After the permit expired, Sunoco built a gas station on property
adjacent to Sam’s property. Shortly after, an ordinance was adopted that changed whether gas stations could be built
in the area where Sam’s had previously received permission.
