Indiana Court of Appeals
Sarah Swingley v. City of Muncie, Ball State University, and Board of Trustees of Ball State University (mem. dec.)
20A-PL-1797
Civil plenary. Affirms the grant of summary judgment to Ball State University, its board of trustees and the city of Muncie on Sarah Swingley’s complaint filed after she was struck and run over by a pickup truck near the BSU campus. Finds the designated evidence does not reveal a genuine issue of material fact as to whether a duty was owed to Swingley by either BSU or by the city under applicable Indiana law. Also finds neither owed Swingley any duty recognized in Indiana. Finally, finds BSU and the city are entitled to judgment as a matter of law, and the Delaware Circuit Court did not err in granting summary judgment.

Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of the Guardianship of Donnell Lee Roberts, an Adult (now deceased), James Wesley Frady v. Patrick Hart
20A-GU-1837
Guardianship. Affirms the Hancock Superior Court’s denial of James Frady’s petition to exercise estate planning over the Estate of Donnell Roberts but reverses the trial court’s decision to sustain the state’s objection to Frady depositing a check as instructed after Roberts’ death. Finds that after termination of guardianship, Indiana Code § 29-3-12-1(e) permitted Frady to deposit a check as instructed. Also finds the trial court was not required to hold a hearing regarding estate planning before dismissing the petitions.
