David L. Lewicki v. Donald Emerson, Warden, Plainfield Correctional Facility
23-3030
Prisoner. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Chief Judge Tanya Walton Pratt. Reverses the district court’s conditional writ of habeas corpus for David Lewicki and order for the State of Indiana to release Lewicki unless it provided him with a new appeal.

Also finds prosecutors did not need or use delay to discover Lewicki’s criminal record.
