Indiana Supreme Court
State of Indiana v. B.H.
25S-JV-47
Juvenile delinquency. Dismisses the State of Indiana’s appeal of Cass Circuit Court Judge Stephen Kitts II’s order denying approval of a delinquency petition alleging B.H. committed battery on a public safety officer. Finds the state forfeited any right to appeal by filing an untimely notice of appeal and has failed to offer any extraordinarily compelling reasons for reinstating that right. Attorneys for appellant: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General Megan Smith. Attorney for appellee: Mark Leeman.
Tuesday opinions
Indiana Court of Appeals
Clorissa Williams v. James Williams
24A-DR-726
Domestic relations with children. Affirms Marion Superior Court Magistrate Beth Jansen’s order awarded James Williams primary physical custody of J.W. Finds that with the exception of Finding 20, the findings that Clorissa Williams challenges are not clearly erroneous. Also finds because those findings and others support the dissolution court’s conclusion that the child relocating with the mother to Ohio was not in the child’s best interest, the dissolution court did not clearly err by granting the father primary physical custody of the child. Judge Stephen Scheele dissents with a separate opinion. Attorneys for appellant: Alexander Moseley, Adrian Deneen. Attorney for appellee: Angela Trapp.
