Indiana Land Trust Company, f/k/a Lake County Trust Company TR #4340 v. XL Investment Properties, LLC and LaPorte County Auditor
20S-MI-62
Miscellaneous. Affirms the LaPorte Superior Court’s denial of Indiana Land Trust Company’s motion to set aside a tax deed related to Trust 4340. Finds that the LaPorte County auditor provided adequate notice and was not required to search its internal records for a better tax sale notice address when the notice sent via certified mail was returned as undeliverable.

The following 7th Circuit Court of Appeals was posted after IL deadline Friday.
Common Cause Indiana v. Connie Lawson, et al.
20-2877
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Richard Young.
Civil. Reverses preliminary injunction blocking Indiana from enforcing the 2019 amendments to Indiana Code sections 3-11.7-2, 3-11.7-3 and 3-11.7-4. Finds the amendments that prevent individual voters from petitioning state courts to extending polling hours on Election Day do not unconstitutionally burden Hoosiers’ fundamental right to vote. Rules because Indiana voters still can seek remedy in the courts under 42 U.S.C. section 1983, the amendments do not violate the Supremacy Clause. Holds even if voters have a liberty interest in statutorily established poll hours, the amendments do not deprive them of that interest. Finally, concludes that Purcell v. Gonzalez, 549 U.S. 1, 4 (2006) applies to the case at hand.
