Gerald A. Sanders v. AHEPA 78 VI Apartments, Inc.
23A-EV-1502
Eviction. Affirms the Lake Superior Court’s order of eviction against Gerald Sanders. Finds the trial court did not err by entering a judgment of eviction. Also finds Sanders failed to show that he is disabled and thereby protected under the FHAA and/or Rehabilitation Act, and the persistent urine odor emanating from his apartment and infiltrating the common areas of the building constituted a material noncompliance with the terms of the lease agreement.

7^th Circuit Court of Appeals
Lester Sumrall and Lester Sumrall Family Trust v. Lesea, Inc., et. al.
23-2833
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Philip Simon. Affirms the district court’s granting of LeSEA, Inc.’s motions for summary judgment and motion to dismiss copyright counterclaims brought by Lester Sumrall and the Lester Sumrall Family Trust. Finds the trust’s claim for Dr. Lester Frank Sumrall’s (Lester Sumrall’s grandfather) works is untimely, while Lester Sumrall’s Traveler Photo claim fails because LeSEA owns the photo’s copyright. Also finds the district court correctly dismissed the trust’s claim for use of Dr. Sumrall’s right of publicity for failing to plead the required half-ownership.
