Indiana Court of Appeals
Andrew T. Masterson v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-2176
Appeal from the Martin Circuit Court, Judge Isha E. Wright-Ryan. Affirms trial court’s ruling. The appellate court determined that Masterson violated the conditions of his community-corrections placement due to his discharge from a recovery program, despite questioning the credibility of the program’s director and ruling that the discharge was not Masterson’s fault. The judgment aligns with precedents stating that responsibility for compliance rests with the probationer, and circumstances surrounding the violation are only relevant for determining a sanction. Judge Vaidik authored the opinion, with Judges Bailey and Scheele concurring. Appellant’s attorneys: Robert T. Miles, Justin W. Roberts and David J. Noetzel, certified legal intern, Kolb Roellgen & Traylor LLP, Vincennes, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of the Estate of William C. Bugher (Deceased), Elnor Bugher, Appellant-Respondent v. William Mark Bugher and Robert C. Bugher, In Their Capacities as Co-Personal Representatives Herein, Appellees-Petitioners
No. 25A-EU-2826
Appeal from the Gibson Circuit Court, Special Judge Greg A. Granger. Elnor Bugher appeals the trial court’s judgment favoring William Mark and Robert C. Bugher in their capacities as personal representatives of the estate of William C. Bugher. The court reversed and remanded, determining that upon William’s death, the funds in joint accounts and the residential parcel belonged solely to Elnor, not the Estate. The court ruled that Mark and Robert failed to timely file a claim under the Nonprobate Transferees Act, which contributed to the decision to vacate the previous judgment and the order for attorney fees. Judge Brown authored the opinion, with Judges Altice and DeBoer concurring. Appellant’s attorneys: Todd I. Glass and Savannah L. Mundy, Fine & Hatfield, A Professional Corp., Evansville, Indiana. Appellees’ attorneys: Maurice E. Doll and Aaron D. Doll, Doll & Sievers Attorneys at Law LLC, Vincennes, Indiana.
