In Re: The Paternity of R.R., J.R. (Father) v. T.G. (Mother) (Mem. Dec)
54A05-1407-JP-325
Juvenile paternity. Divided panel reverses and remands trial court order modifying parenting time after a contempt hearing, expanding visitation for mother. Majority holds father established prima facie error in the trial court’s order on mother’s motion for contempt because there were conflicting orders regarding visitation supervision and father had no notice that parenting-time modification would be considered at the contempt hearing. Dissenting Judge Terry Crone would affirm the trial court in all respects, finding father knew mother’s contempt motion was about his alleged denial of visitation and that the court had worked extensively and sincerely with the parties.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Christopher Tiplick v. State of Indiana
Criminal. On interlocutory appeal, reverses denial of Tiplick’s motion to dismiss 11 of the 18 counts in an indictment against him alleging Class C felony charges of dealing in a lookalike substance and Class D felony possession of or dealing in a synthetic drug commonly referred to as spice. A divided panel held the statutes governing synthetic drug charges are unconstitutionally vague based on the definition of “synthetic drug” in I.C. § 35-31.5-2-321(9). Writing Judge Melissa May and concurring Judge James Kirsch held the trial court erred in failing to dismiss charges based on possession of a substance specified as a synthetic drug by a pharmacy board emergency rule but not specifically by statute. Dissenting Judge L. Mark Bailey would affirm the trial court, writing that laws and regulations were not so complex or overly broad as to preclude a person of ordinary intelligence from having notice of the criminal nature of the sale of XLR11 on the basis of vagueness.
