Indiana Court of Appeals
Clinton David Collins v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-1233
Criminal. Reverses Clinton Collins’ conviction of Level 2 felony burglary. Affirms Collins’ convictions for Level 5 felony robbery and Class A misdemeanor theft. Finds that Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Donald Mote’s decision was based on its misapprehension of the law and substantial evidence supported giving a proposed jury instruction on residential entry, which is a lesser-included offense of burglary. Remands for retrial on the burglary charge. Also instructs the trial court to reconsider any double jeopardy concerns based on the ultimate resolution of the burglary count and to resolve record inconsistency as to the sentence for theft. Attorney for appellant: Jennifer Joas. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita and Supervising Deputy Attorney General Tyler Banks.

Indiana Supreme Court
Willow Haven on 106th Street, LLC v. Hari Nagireddy and Saranya Nagireddy
24S-PL-287
Civil plenary. Reverses Hamilton Superior Court Special Judge Matthew Kincaid’s granting of a preliminary injunction against further construction of a home being developed by Willow Haven on 106th Street, LLC to house up to ten residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Finds Hari and Saranya Nagireddy did not prove they are likely to win their public-nuisance claim, which alleges that Willow Haven’s proposed land use is illegal because it would violate Carmel’s unified development ordinance. Also finds the ordinance does not list Willow Haven’s type of home as an authorized use. Finally, finds because the trial court did not address the issue whether unspecified provisions of state or federal law nevertheless require the city to allow Willow Haven’s use, its entry of the preliminary injunction was premature and an abuse of discretion. Vacates the preliminary injunction, and remands for further proceedings consistent with the supreme court’s opinion. Attorneys for appellant: Thomas Bedsole, Maggie Smith, Todd Small. Attorneys for appellees: John Higgins, Michael Blinn.
