7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Peters Broadcast Engineering Inc v. PEM Consulting Group LLC, et al.
No. 25-1519

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division, Chief Judge Holly A. Brady. The court affirmed the judgment of the district court, which granted summary judgment for the defendants on all claims. The court determined that there was no enforceable contract between Peters Broadcast and PEM Consulting Group, as the evidence indicated only an unenforceable preliminary agreement without certainty on essential terms. Additionally, the court found that Peters Broadcast could not prove the elements of fraud, unjust enrichment, negligent misrepresentation or tortious interference with business relationships. Judge Ripple authored the opinion.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Antonio Ferguson v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-608

Appeal from the Wayne Superior Court No. 1, Judge Ronald J. Moore. Antonio Ferguson appeals his conviction for Level 2 felony dealing in methamphetamine, arguing that the trial court erred by admitting the methamphetamine evidence obtained during a traffic stop, claiming it violated his constitutional rights. The state cross-argues on waiver grounds, asserting that Ferguson did not properly object to the evidence. The court concludes that Ferguson’s right to appeal was preserved despite procedural nuances, and it finds no violation of either the Fourth Amendment or Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution during the search. The court affirms Ferguson’s conviction. Judge May authored the opinion, and Judges Weissmann and DeBoer concur. Appellant’s attorney: Nathaniel S. Connor, The Law Office of Nathaniel S. Connor LLC, Winchester, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
