Court of Appeals of Indiana
Scott Geels and Erica Leitch v. Desiree Morrow and Sean Riley
21A-MI-960
Miscellaneous. Grants Scott Geels and Erica Leitch’s petition for rehearing to correct the mislabeling of their underlying proceedings brought against Desiree Morrow and Sean Riley. Finds that the appellate review standards for guardianship cases and de facto custodian cases are used interchangeably by the Court of Appeals of Indiana and the Indiana Supreme Court. Therefore finds the trial court’s determination that Morrow’s child’s best interests were served by remaining in the custody of her mother prohibits a ruling in the appellants’ favor, regardless of whether the proceeding was for guardianship or custody as de facto custodians. Affirms the appellate court’s prior decision in all other respects.
