Anderson Federation of Teachers v Todd Rokita
No. 23-1823
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Sarah Evans Barker.

The court concluded that these restrictions constituted viewpoint discrimination, triggering strict scrutiny, which the State failed to satisfy. Judge Lee authored the opinion. Appellant attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Deluxe Detail, LLC v. Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC
No. 26A-SC-1327
Appeal from the St. Joseph Superior Court, Magistrate Matthew R. Raper. The court affirmed the small claims court’s judgment in favor of Avis, determining that Deluxe Detail failed to prove its claim for late fees and prejudgment interest. The court found that there was no written agreement regarding the services provided, and Deluxe did not communicate its late fee policy to Avis. The evidence did not support that late fees were incorporated into the contract, nor did Deluxe demonstrate that damages were ascertainable, therefore prejudgment interest was not warranted. Judge Brown authored the opinion, with Judges Kenworthy and Scheele concurring. Appellant attorneys: Jeffrey J. Stesiak, James P. Barth, Pfeifer, Morgan & Stesiak, South Bend. Appellee attorneys: Ami T. Anderson, Marisa R. Lareau, Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, Highland.
