23A-MF-2224
Mortgage foreclosure. Affirms the Jennings Superior Court’s denial of the motion to correct error that V.L.

Indiana Green Party, et al. v. Diego Morales
23-2756
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge James Sweeney. Affirms the district court’s granting of summary judgment to the defendant, Indiana’s Secretary of State Diego Morales. Finds that U.S. Supreme Court and 7th Circuit precedent, requiring the signatures of 2 percent of the electorate, was constitutionally permissible and that the June 30 filing deadline for submitting signatures to the counties was also permissible. Also finds states have broad authority to impose reasonable, nondiscriminatory restrictions on access to the ballot. Finally, finds the ballot access restrictions challenged in the case easily pass the scrutiny that the U.S. Supreme Court and the 7th Circuit have employed in similar cases.
