18A-CT-03112
Civil tort. Affirms the St. Joseph County Superior Court’s dismissal of wrongful death claims brought against Humana by Steve Snyder, as personal representative of Kimberly Snyder’s estate, and the court’s award of summary judgment for St. Joseph Regional Medical Center and Prompt Medical Transportation, Inc. Finds the trial court did not err by striking the affidavits of the estate’s untimely disclosed expert witnesses. Also finds no genuine issue of material fact existed with respect to the element of causation and that the estate’s claims against Humana Insurance Company are pre-empted by federal law governing Medicare Part C.

Pedro Rayo Zagal v. State of Indiana

19A-PC-694

Post-conviction. Affirms the denial of Pedro Rayo Zagal’s post-conviction relief petition by Elkhart Superior Court for ineffective counsel. Finds Zagal read and signed the advisement of rights and penalties at his initial hearing, which included the provision that if he was convicted of a crime as an illegal alien, he could be deported. Also finds that under Indiana Supreme Court precedent, the trial attorney did not have to separately advise Zagal of the immigration consequences.
