USA v. Adrian Grisanti
19-1576, 18-2993
Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, New Albany Division. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.

Brandon Lawrence Johnson v. State of Indiana
19A-CR-00334
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Brandon Johnson’s petition to file a belated notice of appeal of his 12-year sentence for conviction of Level 4 felony possession of methamphetamine.
