Indiana Court of Appeals
Kimberly A. White v. Town of Plainfield, Indiana
24A-PL-1690
Civil plenary. Affirms the Hendricks Superior Court’s order in Plainfield’s favor, permanently enjoining Kimberly White from using Plainfield’s registered Mark in any manner. Finds the Mark does not consist of or comprise the flag or “other insignia” of Plainfield and therefore falls outside of Indiana Code Section 24-2-1-3(3)(B)’s bar on registering such marks. Also finds the trial court’s determination that White infringed on Plainfield’s trademark rights was not clearly erroneous and the trial court therefore properly enjoined White from continuing to use the Mark. Attorneys for appellant: Sean Burke, Jeffery Furminger. Attorneys for appellee: Melvin Daniel, Jeffrey Parker, Vivek Hadley.

Choaen Consulting, LLC, doing business as Chosen Healthcare, et. al. v. Town Council of Highland, Indiana, et al.
24-2714
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division. Judge Philip Simon. Affirms the district court’s granting of summary judgment to the Town of Highland. Finds Chosen Healthcare’s claim for injunctive relief under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act is not ripe for review. Also finds until Chosen has properly pursued the town’s approval and the town has decided whether it will permit Chosen’s proposed use of the property, this dispute is not ripe. Attorneys for appellants: Libby Goodknight, Shelley Jackson, Matthew Branic. Attorneys for appellees: Anthony Overholt, John Reed, Darren Craig, Amy Johnson.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Donald Thorpe v. Frank Bisignano
24‑2214
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division. Judge Jon E. DeGuilio. Affirms the district court’s grant of summary judgment and denial of Thorpe’s request to alter that judgment. Thorpe sought Social Security disability benefits, arguing his physical and mental impairments rendered him unable to work. The administration law judge denied benefits, relying in part on vocational expert testimony that Thorpe could perform approximately 145,000 jobs in the national economy. The district court upheld the decision, holding that Thorpe forfeited any challenge to the VE testimony by failing to object during the hearing and finding the decision supported by substantial evidence. The Seventh Circuit agreed. Attorney for appellant: Robert Tarlock. Attorney for appellee: Megan Hugo, Meredith Deddish Schacht, Nathaniel Whalen.
