The Indiana Supreme Court has upheld judgment for Indianapolis Public Schools in a negligence case brought by a student’s parents in a dual-credits dispute, noting that it was affirming the ruling from the Indiana Court of Appeals despite an error in reasoning.
The following 7th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion was posted after IL deadline Wednesday:
Jeffery Bridges v. United States of America
20-1623
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.
Civil. Reverses the denial of Jeffery Bridges’ petition for habeas relief. Finds that in this case, counsel’s failure to raise an important and meritorious sentencing guideline argument may constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. Also finds that Hobbs Act robbery is not a “crime of violence” as the phrase is defined in the sentencing guidelines. Remands with orders including an evidentiary hearing on defense counsel’s performance under 28 U.S.C. § 2255(b).

With spring comes the start of the period in which many justices have announced their retirement from the United States Supreme Court.

The following opinions were posted after IL deadline Tuesday:
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Korrtel Filzen
20-1071
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Richard L. Young.
Criminal. Affirms the $1,100 special assessment imposed on Korrtel Filzen for his convictions of 11 felony offenses related to an armed robbery spree. Finds the district court could not have lawfully imposed the $900 special assessment considered in Filzen’s plea agreement, and the lawful sentence that it did impose did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings. Also finds that the court’s Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 violation was not reversible error.
