IndyBar: Indiana Disability Rights Named 2022 Community Empowerment Fund Grant Recipient

| From IndyBar

Advanced directives are essential tools for ensuring one’s wishes for medical and end-of-life treatment are known.

Court of Appeals of Indiana
County Materials Corp. and Central Processing Corp. v. Indiana Precast, Inc., Ryan S. Gookins, and Richard A. Rectenwal III
20A-PL-1683
Civil plenary. Affirms the judgment of the Hancock Superior Court with respect to the denial of County Materials Corp. and Central Processing Corp.’s request to set aside final judgment for Ryan S. Gookins, Richard A. Rectenwal III and Indiana Precast Inc., as well as the denial of Central’s request to set aside the award of attorney fees. Reverses the denial of County’s request to set aside the award of attorney fees. Finds Central knew and subsequently admitted that it suffered no damages, so the trial court could reasonably find that Central’s act of bringing and/or continuing to litigate its numerous claims against the Precast parties was frivolous, unreasonable, groundless and done in bad faith. Also finds the Precast parties’ actions or inactions complicated County’s efforts to show that their case was not unreasonable or groundless. Finally, finds there were no grounds for the trial court to vacate its directed judgment against Central and in favor of the Precast parties, and County failed to show that it was entitled to relief under Indiana Trial Rules 59, 60(B)(2) or 60(B)(3).

Business Email Compromise scams are a type of crime where criminals hack into email accounts, pretend to be someone they’re not and fool victims into sending money where it doesn’t belong. These crimes get far less attention than the massive ransomware attacks that have triggered a powerful government response, but BEC scams have been by far the costliest type of cybercrime in the U.S. for years, according to the FBI—siphoning untold billions from the economy as authorities struggle to keep up.

Court of Appeals of Indiana
Lisa Rose Fedij v. State of Indiana
21A-CR-1481
Criminal. Reverses Lisa Rose Fedji’s conviction of Class A misdemeanor possession of marijuana but affirms her conviction of Class C misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. Finds that the Hamilton Superior Court abused its discretion when it admitted the writing and symbols from packages in Fedij’s possession into evidence under the market reports exception to hearsay, Evidence Rule 803(17). Also finds insufficient evidence to support Fedij’s Class A misdemeanor conviction, but sufficient evidence supports the Class C misdemeanor conviction. Remands with instructions for the trial court to vacate Fedij’s conviction and sentence for the Class A misdemeanor conviction.
