David E. Hollowell v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-52
Appeal from the Clark Circuit Court, Judge Nicholas Karaffa. David Hollowell appeals his convictions for Class A felony rape, Class A felony child molesting, and Class A felony burglary. He contends that the trial court erred in admitting his DNA test results, denied his request for a mistrial, and that there was insufficient evidence to support his burglary conviction. The court found that the trial court did not err in the admission of the DNA evidence, did not abuse its discretion by denying the mistrial, and that sufficient evidence existed to uphold the burglary conviction. The trial court’s judgment is affirmed. Judge Pyle authored the opinion, with Judges Bradford and Kenworthy concurring. Appellant’s attorney: Matthew J. McGovern, Fishers. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Richard Highbaugh v. Exelead, Inc.
No. 25-2638
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Richard L. Young. Before Circuit Judges Easterbrook, Maldonado and Taibleson. The court affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment for Exelead, concluding that Highbaugh failed to show that the company’s stated justification for not promoting him was pretextual. Highbaugh, who alleged discrimination based on race and age after being passed over for a management position, did not provide sufficient evidence to dispute the employer’s rationale of selecting a candidate with more relevant experience. Circuit Judge Maldonado authored the opinion. There are no concurrences or dissents.
