Indiana Court of Appeals
Shacare Terry v. Community Health Network, Inc.
49A04-1312-PL-630
Civil plenary.  Affirms dismissal of Terry’s claim of breach of duty against Community Hospital, but reverses dismissal of intentional infliction of emotional distress claim. The breach of duty claim is, in substance, a medical malpractice claim, so the court did not have jurisdiction because it had not been submitted to the medical review panel yet. The trial court had subject matter over Terry’s emotional distress claim.

City of Plymouth Street Department v. Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission
93A02-1403-EX-162
Agency action. Affirms denial of Plymouth’s motion to dismiss an administrative action against the city stemming from damage it caused to an underground natural gas pipeline. Rejects the city’s claim that the commission failed to satisfy the statutory and administrative requirements concerning notice of the violation and recommended penalties.

In the Matter of the Adoption and Paternity of K.G.B., E.S. v. T.B. and K.B.
12A02-1404-AD-255
Adoption.  Affirms adoption of child by T.B. The putative father was not entitled to notice of the adoption proceedings because he failed to timely register with the Indiana Putative Father Registry and his failure to do so amounted to an irrevocably implied consent to the child’s adoption. Because he impliedly consented to the adoption, he is also barred from establishing paternity of the child. Also denies appellees’ request for appellate attorney fees. Remands for any necessary proceedings relating to the adoption.
