53A01-1210-CR-461
Criminal/firearm seizure. Affirms a trial court order approving the seizure of firearms from a person determined to be dangerous under I.C. 35-47-14-1. The majority concluded that evidence of probative value exists from which the court could have determined by clear and convincing evidence that Redington was dangerous as defined by Ind. Code § 35-47-14-1(a)(2)(B), and accordingly it was within its discretion to order the Bloomington Police Department to retain Redington’s firearms pursuant to Ind. Code § 35-47-14-6(b). Dissenting Judge Patricia Riley would reverse the trial court, holding that Redington was not properly found dangerous under the statute.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Anthony Weddington v. Dushan Zatecky, Superintendent
11-3303
Vacates denial of Weddington’s habeas petition and remands for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Finds the District Court erred in failing to consider Weddington’s claims that he could not meet the limitations period because prison officials confiscated his legal paper work, law books and legal mail. Also points out that the question of whether Judge Tanya Walton Pratt should have recused herself can be remedied by assigning the case to a different district judge on remand.
