23-1321
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Evansville Division. Chief Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Angela Hendrix v. Donald Campbell, et al.
23A-PL-2234
Civil plenary. Affirms the Owen Circuit Court’s denial of Angela Hendrix’s motion for a “set-off” of Donald and Pamela Campbell’s judgment against Hendrix by an amount equal to a judgment Hendrix won against Pamela Campbell in the separate case. Finds Hendrix cannot set off Judgment 1 by Judgment 2 because mutuality does not exist between the parties owing the judgments, because only Pamela Campbell was responsible for Judgment 2. Also finds Hendrix has not demonstrated that an irremediable injustice supports dispensing with the mutuality requirement.

In the Matter of the Honorable Scott A. Norrick, Judge of the Madison Circuit Court
24S-JD-35
Judicial discipline. Suspends Madison Circuit Court Judge Scott Norrick, without pay for 45 days commencing June 3, with the suspension terminating and Norrick being automatically reinstated to office July 18. Finds Norrick engaged in judicial misconduct by: failing to supervise his staff in the processing of orders, which resulted in him presiding over civil cases in which he or his son were the attorneys of record; erroneously issuing an ex parte change-of-custody order without giving the opposing party notice or an opportunity to respond; and failing to supervise his staff in the processing of criminal cases, which led to delays in issuing warrants, missing orders and chronological case summary (entries, and involuntarily dismissing sixteen criminal cases. All justices concurred except for Justice Geoffrey Slaughter, who would reject the conditional agreement, believing more severe discipline is warranted.
