Brian Young, Sandy Young, Tim Corbett, Dave Wells, Steve Richmond, Sheldon Scott, James Taylor, and Scott Hanley v. South Bend Common Council v. South Bend City Administration
21A-MI-1049
Miscellaneous. Affirms and reverses in part the dismissal of Brian young, Sandy Young, Tim Corbett, Dave Wells, Steve Richmond, Sheldon Scott, James Taylor and Scott Hanley’s claims for declaratory and injunctive relief alleging violations of the Federal Wiretap Act and the Indiana Wiretap Act. Finds the trial court erred in dismissing the original intervenors’ declaratory judgment complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, but the original intervenors’ argument regarding their dismissal as interpleader defendants is essentially moot. Finds the trial court erred in limiting the new intervenors’ litigation to the cassette tapes. Finally, finds remand is appropriate for development of a factual record and a final determination of the legality of all the interpled recordings.

Terrance Trabian Miller v. State of Indiana
20A-CR-2315
Criminal. Affirms Terrance Trabian Miller’s convictions. Finds any error that arose during jury instruction was invited by Miller, which precludes relief on direct appeal. Also finds sufficient evidence that Miller was lawfully stopped in his vehicle by police. Finally, finds Miller did not comply with the exhaustion rule, which precludes review of the Cass Circuit Court’s refusal to strike juror T.M. for cause. Chief Justice Loretta Rush concurs in part and dissents in part with separate opinion.
