7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Robdarius Williams
24-2683
Criminal. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson. Affirms Robdarius Williams’ convictions in district court of Hobbs Act robbery and of aiding and abetting the brandishing of a firearm. Finds that the evidence on advance knowledge was not so tenuous as to make Williams’s conviction of aiding and abetting brandishing a firearm shocking. Also finds the government established that Williams drove Quintez Tucker to retrieve a rifle, which was brandished during the robbery, and introduced evidence suggesting that Williams directed the robbery from his car. Attorneys for appellant: Thomas Patton, Johanna Christiansen, James Edgar. Attorneys for appellee: Bob Wood, Jeremy Fugate, Isaac Jordan.
Wednesday opinions
Indiana Court of Appeals
Aaron Howe and Kinsey Howe v. Lehe Farms, Inc. and DK Livestock, LLC
25A-PL-226
Civil plenary. Affirms the White Circuit Court’s order granting judgment to LeheFarms, Inc. and DK Livestock LLC for its claims to quiet title to a disputed 2.7-acre strip of land under three theories: title by acquiescence, adverse possession and prescriptive easement. Finds the trial court carefully evaluated extensive testimony showing nearly 70 years of consistent boundary recognition between the Lehes and the Hendryx family. Also finds the evidence amply supported the trial court’s conclusion that both families, through their conduct, implicitly agreed to the fence as the boundary between their properties. Attorney for appellant: Aaron Spolarich. Attorneys for appellee: Brian Karle, John Schafer.
