Court of Appeals of Indiana
Timothy Marcus Mayberry v. Indiana Department of Corrections, et al. (mem. dec.)
22A-CT-2482
Civil tort. Affirms and reverses in part the denial of Timothy Marcus Mayberry’s complaint against the Indiana Department of Correction and four unnamed prison officials/employees, and the denial as moot of his motion for appointment of counsel. Finds the Sullivan Circuit Court erred in dismissing Mayberry’s tort claim against DOC. Also finds the trial court did not err in dismissing Mayberry’s claims against the unnamed DOC employees in their individual capacities. Finally, finds the trial court must consider Mayberry’s motion for appointment of counsel on remand.
