Indiana Supreme Court had posted no opinions at IL deadline.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Marianne Jackson v. Thomas Trancik, M.D.
29A02-1012-CC-1391
Civil collections. Reverses summary judgment to Dr. Trancik on his lawsuit to collect on a medical bill. The trial court abused its discretion in striking the affidavit of an expert witness designated by Jackson and that affidavit establishes an issue of material fact as to the amount she owes. Remand for further proceedings.

Wellpoint, Inc., et al. v. National Union Fire Ins., Co., et al.
49A05-1011-PL-670
Civil plenary. Reverses summary judgment for Twin City Fire Insurance Co. in Anthem’s action seeking defense and indemnification from its reinsurers. None of the subject policy provisions operate to exclude coverage in the manner Twin City proposes. Remands for further proceedings.

John R. Berry, IV v. State of Indiana
49A04-1008-CR-536
Criminal. Reverses conviction of Class A felony attempted murder. The trial court erred in rejecting Berry’s insanity defense. The evidence is undisputed at the time of the offense – Berry suffered from psychotic symptoms caused by his prolonged and severe alcohol abuse and he was unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct. Remands for further proceedings.
