Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority, et al. v. Cadence Blanchard, et al.
25A-PL-1383
Civil plenary. Reverses the Marion Superior Court’s order granting a preliminary injunction and certifying a class action regarding the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s termination of the Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance 2 program, which was created to administer rental assistance using federal funding appropriated as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The trial court ordered IHCDA to reopen the program and granted the plaintiffs’ motion for certification of a class. Finds the trial court abused its discretion by granting the preliminary injunction because Plaintiffs lack standing under the Administrative Orders and Procedures Act, so they cannot succeed on that claim. Also finds that the trial court abused its discretion by certifying the class because, as currently defined, the class is not sufficiently definite regarding whether or not an individual is a member. Remands for further proceedings. Judge Paul Felix concurs in result with separate opinion. Judge Nancy Vaidik dissents with separate opinion. Attorneys for appellants: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Solicitor General James Barta, John Vastag. Attorneys for appellees: Fran Quigley, Ian Bensberg.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Dominick D. Jones v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-2608
Criminal. Affirms Dominick Jones’ convictions in Elkhart Superior Court for child molesting. Finds Jones failed to show that Victim 1’s testimony was inherently contradictory, and her testimony was corroborated by other testimony and circumstantial evidence. The evidence was sufficient to support Jones’s convictions. Reverses the trial court’s order denying Jones credit time for improperly filing pro se motions and other pleadings. Finds Jones is statutorily entitled to credit time while awaiting sentencing and the trial court was without discretion to deprive Jones of the credit time as a sanction for filing pro se pleadings and motions while represented by counsel. Remands this case to the trial court to calculate the correct amount of credit time to which Jones is entitled and issue a revised sentencing statement in accordance therewith. Affirms Jones’ 120-year aggregate sentence. Finds Jones failed to demonstrate that his sentence is inappropriate in light of the specific factors considered by the trial court that distinguished his offenses from those committed by the defendants in other cases. Also finds Jones’s sentence is not inappropriate and should not be revised. Attorney for appellant: Donald Shuler. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Kelly Loy.
