7^th Circuit Court of Appeals
Kevin Johnson v. Martin Purdue, et al.
23-2478
Prisoner. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Senior Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson. Affirms the district court’s granting of summary judgment for Pendleton Correctional Facility medical personnel, prison officials, and Wexford of Indiana, the prison’s contracted medical provider. Finds Kevin Johnson’s claim fails because he had sufficient constructive notice of the summary judgment motions and has never challenged the merits of the district court’s decision. Also finds that he failed to take any action in this case despite being put on notice that the defendants’ motions would shortly be refiled, that the district court instructed defendants to notify the court of any issues with service, and that Johnson has offered no argument that the district court’s decision was wrong on the merits of the summary judgment motions. Attorneys for appellant: D. Dangaran, Samuel Weiss. Attorneys for appellees: Benjamin Jones, Abigail Recker, Douglass Bitner, Rachel Johnson, Erica Sawyer.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Shawn Senter v. Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals
24A-MI-1863
Miscellaneous. Reverses a Kosciusko Superior Court Judge Karin McGrath’s denial of Shawn Senter’s petition for judicial review of the decision of the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals, which denied Senter’s request to conduct retail sales of gasoline on his property. Finds that because the zoning ordinance explicitly allows a retail business to be operated on Senter’s property and the ordinance’s exceptions are inapplicable, the BZA’s decision restricting Senter’s retail sale of gasoline on his property was improper. Remands with instructions to grant Senter’s petition for judicial review. Attorneys for appellant: William Ramsey, Caleb Peery. Attorney for appellee: Adam Turner.
