Sweeney Takes Oath Of Office As Southern District Judge

0

Katie Stancombe for www.theindianalawyer.com

Judge James R. Sweeney II of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana was sworn into office at 11 a.m. Monday as the Southern District’s newest judge since 2010.

Chief Judge Jane E. Magnus-Stinson administered the oath, fulfilling the final step in Sweeney’s ascent to the bench. Sweeney, 57, was confirmed by a voice vote last month on Capitol Hill and will fill the empty seat left by Judge Sarah Evans Barker, who assumed senior status in June 2014.

The Indianapolis native and Barnes & Thornburg partner received a nomination for the open position in November 2017 from President Donald Trump. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on Aug. 28, 2018.

“The court is proud to welcome Judge Sweeney to the bench. He is an incredibly bright, hard-working, and talented attorney, and we know that he will make a fine judge,” Magnus-Stinson said in a statement. “He comes to the court at a time of great need, as we continue to work under ever-increasing caseloads. Having Judge Sweeney on board is a significant benefit to the court and to all citizens of the Southern District of Indiana.”

The Southern District Court is in a judicial emergency with a weighted caseload of 821 cases per judge, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Sweeney’s caseload will pull from the Indianapolis and Terre Haute divisions, including newly assigned cases as well as reassigned cases from other judges.

Sweeney is a veteran of the Marine Corps and graduated with merit from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1983. After receiving an honorable discharge in 1992, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and started classes at Notre Dame Law School in 1993.

Before joining Barnes & Thornburg, LLP, where he focused on intellectual property matters, Sweeney served as a judicial law clerk for Judge John D. Tinder during Tinder’s service as a Southern District judge. Sweeney also clerked for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James L. Ryan.

The Southern District Clerk’s office said it will release the date of Sweeney’s investiture ceremony later.

Mickey’s Kingdom Community Build Wraps Up

SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2018 MITCH ANGLE EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

If you travel in and out of downtown Evansville along Riverside Drive, you’ve probably noticed that the landscape is changing.

The 10-day community build at the new Mickey’s Kingdom Playground wrapped up as of last night.

Despite the weather, volunteers worked throughout the weekend to make the playscape a reality. While the structures are up, items like the swings and slides will still need to be installed.

Evansville Police Sgt. Jason Cullum says the work may slow down a little bit with the rain, but the rest of the installations will be done soon.

A grand opening for Mickey’s Kingdom is set for October 27th.

State Offers Schools Second Opportunity for Handheld Metal Detectors

0

Governor Eric J. Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Administration today announced the second opportunity for Indiana schools to order state-funded handheld metal detectors. Gov. Holcomb announced the original program earlier this summer.

Schools that have not ordered the devices can contact info@k12indiana.com. Ordering instructions will be provided. The deadline to order is 5 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 5.

To date, 3,231 total handheld metal detectors have been requested by 370 school entities — including 94 percent of all traditional public school corporations.

Originally announced on July 9, the program makes one handheld metal detector available for every 250 students in a school building. The cost of the program to date is $331,720.20 and is funded by IDOA.

This program is just one of several actions the state has taken in the last year, building on the state’s reputation as a leader for its existing school safety policies and practices.

AG Curtis Hill urges U.S. Supreme Court to overturn 1979 decision diluting states’ sovereignty

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill announced today he is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 1979 decision Nevada vs. Hall, which holds that states are subject to lawsuits brought against them in the courts of other states.

Sovereign immunity prevents states from being sued without their consent. Hall’s holding, which allows plaintiffs to circumvent sovereign immunity by bringing suit against one state in the courts of another state, is irreconcilable with the Supreme Court’s larger body of sovereign immunity decisions, said Attorney General Hill. He is leading a 44-state friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case Franchise Tax Board of the State of California v. Gilbert P. Hyatt. The case stems from lawsuits filed in Nevada courts by inventor Gilbert Hyatt against the California tax agency.

The U.S. Constitution’s Eleventh Amendment, ratified in 1795, states, “The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.”

States, however, enjoy greater protection of their sovereign immunity than the specific guarantees of the Eleventh Amendment, Attorney General Hill asserts in the brief. That is because, he said, the concept of sovereign immunity is enshrined in historic common law principles of English legal tradition that is the basis for modern American law.

“The States did not relinquish that immunity when they ratified the Constitution,” the brief states. “Instead, the framers understood the Constitution to preserve the traditional sovereign immunity of the States. The Eleventh Amendment was enacted not to outline the boundaries of state sovereign immunity, but to restore its common law understanding. Hall’s holding that state sovereign immunity is not protected in the courts of other States contravenes both this history and the Court’s precedents.”
