Michael Parker v. Indiana State Prison
24A-SC-1197
Small claims. Affirms the LaPorte Superior Court’s small claims judgment that the Indiana State Prison did not owe Michael Parker damages for his lost wedding band. Finds the small claims court did not clearly err when it did not award Parker damages for his lost wedding band.

Remands with instructions to the small claims court to enter a damages amount representing the fair market value of the lost personal property based on the replacement cost of these items if purchased from NASCO or the prison commissary. Appellant, pro se: Michael Parker. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Supervising Deputy Attorney General Evan Comer.
