Indiana Court of Appeals
In re the Paternity of W.R.H. Casie N. Wheeler v. William Jesse Hinshaw
18A-JP-1770
Juvenile paternity. Reverses modification of custody ordered by Hamilton Superior Court, awarding sole legal custody of W.R.H. to William Jesse Hinshaw. Majority holds that because Indiana Code section 31-17-2.2-1 does not place legal custody at issue any time there is a hearing regarding a proposed relocation, legal custody was not at issue at the hearing, and the trial court erred by ordering the modification. Judge Terry Crone dissents with separate opinion and would affirm the trial court’s award of sole legal custody to father.

Indiana Supreme Court
Marcus Zanders v. State of Indiana
15S01-1611-CR-571
Criminal. Affirms Marcus Zanders’ convictions of two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. Finds that accessing Zanders’ cell-site location information was a Fourth Amendment search under Carpenter v. United States, 585 U.S. —, 138 S. Ct. 2206 (2018), but even if the CSLI evidence should have been excluded, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
