Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of the Civil Commitment of A.D. v. Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health
No. 25A-MH-3292
Mental Health. Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge David Certo. Affirms the trial court’s order temporarily committing A.D. to Community Fairbanks Behavioral Health for up to 90 days. Holds that clear and convincing evidence supported the finding that A.D. suffers from a mental illness — schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type — under Indiana Code § 12-7-2-130. Concludes the psychiatrist’s testimony, based on repeated evaluations, observed symptoms, and A.D.’s treatment history, was sufficient even though the physician could not specify the exact onset date of the disorder or personally observe symptoms for six months. Rejects A.D.’s argument that the diagnosis was too equivocal to support commitment. Notes that A.D. did not challenge the trial court’s finding that she was gravely disabled. Affirms that the evidence showed impaired judgment, inability to function independently, lack of a viable housing or employment plan, medication noncompliance, and behavior demonstrating an inability to regulate emotions. Appellant’s attorneys: Marion County Public Defender Agency (Talisha Griffin) and Joel M. Schumm. Appellee’s attorneys: Ice Miller LLP.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Mark Landon Taylor v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-2155
Criminal. Appeal from the Hamilton Superior Court, Judge William J. Hughes. Affirms Taylor’s convictions and sentence for Class A misdemeanor domestic battery and Class A misdemeanor theft. Holds the trial court did not violate Taylor’s Sixth Amendment rights because the sentence imposed for domestic battery did not exceed the statutory maximum authorized by Indiana Code §§ 35-50-3-1 and 35-50-3-2, and thus Blakely does not apply. Further holds the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding Taylor’s substance use was a contributing factor to the offense and sentencing him under Indiana Code § 35-50-3-1(c). Also holds the trial court did not err by imposing probationary terms without a substantiating report because Taylor received 365 days of probation on each misdemeanor conviction, and no single probationary term exceeded 12 months, making the statutory report requirement inapplicable. Rejects Taylor’s argument that the aggregate probationary period required a report and notes Taylor did not preserve a challenge to the consecutive nature of his sentences. Accordingly, affirms the judgment and sentence. Appellant’s attorney: Michael D. Frischkorn. Appellee’s attorneys: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
