Indiana Court of Appeals
Nathan A. Floring v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-3189

Interlocutory appeal from the Johnson Superior Court, Judge Douglas B. Cummins. In this interlocutory appeal, Nathan Floring challenges the trial court’s denial of his motion to dismiss charges for possession of methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia, claiming immunity under Indiana’s Aaron’s Law. The court affirmed the trial court’s decision, stating Floring did not meet the statutory requirements for immunity, as he was not the individual who called for emergency assistance. Moreover, the court noted he failed to provide the necessary affidavits to support his assertions. Chief Judge Tavitas authored the opinion, with Judges Bradford and Felix concurring. Appellant’s attorney: Michael J. Kyle, Franklin. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

The following opinion was issued on Aug. 5 after The Indiana Lawyer’s deadline. 

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Dupont Water Company, Inc. v. City of Madison, Indiana, and Jefferson County, Indiana
No. 25-3131

Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Judge Sarah Evans Barker. Before Circuit Judges Scudder, Kirsch and Taibleson. The court affirms the district court’s summary judgment in favor of Madison and Jefferson County, finding that Dupont Water Company did not demonstrate it had “provided or made available” water service to the jail as required to invoke the protections of 7 U.S.C. § 1926(b). The court determined that Dupont’s inaction over years, despite Jefferson County’s requests for service, meant it failed to meet the necessary criteria for service availability. Judge Taibelson authored the opinion. There were no concurrences or dissents.
