Court of Appeals of Indiana
In the Matter of: K.G., T.L.J.
22A-MI-502
Miscellaneous. Affirms in part the Orange Circuit Court’s denial of mother T.L.J.’s request to change the gender marker on her transgender daughter K.D.G.’s birth certificate. Finds Indiana Code § 16-37-2-10 doesn’t provide the court with the authority to grant the requested relief. Also finds the trial court’s lack of findings means the Court of Appeals cannot ascertain why the court found that T.L.J. failed to meet her burden of proving that the requested change was in K.D.G.’s best interests. Remands to the trial court with instructions to make additional factual findings explaining its decision, focusing specifically on I.C. 317-17-2-8

22A-CR-1186
Criminal. Affirms Joseph Ray Varney’s sentence of 15 years, with nine years executed and six years suspended to probation, for Level 3 felony dealing in methamphetamine and admitting to being a habitual offender. Finds the Clark Circuit Court acted within its discretion in sentencing Varney, and his sentence is not inappropriate in light of the nature of the offense and his character.
