Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of the Involuntary Commitment of J.C. (mem. dec.)
19A-MH-1436
Mental health. Affirms the Knox Superior Court’s grant of a petition to involuntarily commit J.C. Finds sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s order of J.C.’s involuntary commitment.

J.L.F.-D. v. C.N.D. (mem. dec.)
19A-DR-1381
Domestic relation. Affirms the Wayne Circuit Court’s order that modified J.L.F.-D.’s child custody and suspended his parenting time, among other things. Finds Father’s appeal is waived for noncompliance with Indiana Appellate Rule 46, finding it unclear what issues he raises on appeal. Waiver notwithstanding, finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
