20A-JT-1631; 20A-JT-1633; 20A-JT-1639

Juvenile termination of parental rights. Affirms the termination of mother A.N.’s parental rights to her three children, A.L., G.L. and R.L. Finds A.N. has waived her challenge to the admission of Petitioner’s Exhibit 1 by failing to provide a cogent argument, and even if there were a discovery violation, the Jay Circuit Court did not abuse its discretion. Also finds A.N. has waived her argument that the Indiana Department of Child Services violated her due process rights because she failed to object on due process grounds in the trial court and she failed to specific any constitutional basis for her due process claim; waiver notwithstanding, her due process argument fails on the merits because she did not establish a risk of error arising from DCS’ actions. Finally, finds there is sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s termination judgment.

Heather Harvey v. Keyed In Property Management, LLC
20A-SC-01459

Small claims. Affirms the Brown Circuit Court’s damages award of $1,500 plus $125 in court costs in favor of Keyed In Property Management, finding that it was entitled to the maximum award for an LLC not represented by legal counsel under Indiana Small Claims Rule 8(C). Rejects Heather Harvey’s argument on appeal that the award was excessive and that she had been subject to constructive eviction.
