The Board of Commissioners of Union County, Indiana v. Brandye Hendrickson, in her official capacity as Commissioner of the Ind. Dept. of Transportation, and the State of Indiana
81A01-1603-PL-696
Civil plenary. Reverses the dismissal of the Board of Commissioners of Union County’s complaint against Brandye Hendrickson in her official capacity as commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation. The Indiana Court of Appeals reviewed the case as a Trial Rule 12(B)(6) dismissal of a complaint, not a granting of summary judgment, and accordingly disregarded Ron Parker’s affidavit in considering the merits of the Union Circuit Court’s ruling. Finds that the trial court erred in dismissing the Union County’s action for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief against INDOT and that the county has standing to pursue those claims. Remands for further proceedings.
