The Honorable Judge Leslie C. Shively 2018 CCO “COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD” WINNER

9

The Honorable Judge Leslie C. Shively

by Zachary Stuard

The Honorable Judge Les Shively took the bench several years ago upon his appointment to the Vanderburgh County Superior Court by former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. Judge Shively’s appointment served to fill the vacant position left by the Honorable Judge David Kiely after his election to the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court. When the Judge Kiely began his duties within the Circuit Court his position remained vacant until March, during which time Governor Daniels reviewed numerous applicants for the position, ultimately settling on the vastly experienced Judge Shively.

Judge Shively practiced law for a total of 32 years prior to his appointment to the bench. During his 32 years practicing his primary focus was real estate litigation. His practice dealt with numerous issues concerning property rights, issues with development, contract disputes, land use regulation, property taxes, and construction matters. In 2004 Judge Shively served as the chair for the Zoning and Land Use section of the Indiana Bar Association as well as representing the Evansville Association of Realtors for fifteen years.

Judge Shively realized that he wished to pursue law during his sophomore year of high school. His parents ingrained him with a high level of respect and taught him how to behave and interact with adults at a very young age. As a result of this, he received exposure to professionals at a very early age, mainly attorneys that were friends of his family. During his sophomore year of high school, Judge Shively had the opportunity to shadow then prosecutor William Brune and deputy prosecutors Jack Davis and David Miller as part of a school program that allowed students to shadow professionals for a week. Judge Shively had the opportunity to observe a jury trial during this time and was fascinated with the experience.

Judge Shively went on to Indiana University to receive his B.S. and accounting degree in 1976 and his Masters of Business Administration in 1980. During graduate school, Judge Shively also attended the IU School of Law in Indianapolis and received his Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1980.

During his time in law school, Judge Shively came to know Dean Harvey. Harvey told Shively that law school would only account for a small percentage of necessary preparation to be a lawyer. Harvey went on to say that the first firm an attorney went to work for after school was vital to the shaping of a good lawyer.  Judge Shively, with Harvey’s words in mind, sought work with the Johnson, Carroll, & Griffith law firm upon his completion of law school and worked at the firm from 1980 to 1989. “Working for Johnson, Carroll, & Griffith was an amazing opportunity.” Shively spoke very highly of his time at the firm, “I am very grateful to the attorneys that I was fortunate enough to work with directly out of law school. They are outstanding attorneys and the knowledge that I gained while working was invaluable.”  Judge Shively stated that the subsequent experiences working with Terry Noffsinger and the firm of Fine & Hatfield were also instrumental in his professional development.

Judge Shively has also been a part of numerous boards and associations. He has served on the Indiana University Board of Trustees, Indiana State Student Assistance Commission, Indiana Board of Law Examiners, the Vanderburgh County Election Board and State Board of Trustees for Ivy Tech Community College.

Judge Shively’s appointment comes at an interesting time.  July 1st of this year brought with it a new expungement law known as the “Second Chance Law.” This law, as its name suggests, allows for offenders to have their offenses expunged contingent on their fulfillment of certain statutory pre-requisites. The idea behind the law is to allow past offenders to have a chance to obtain jobs that they may not have previously been able to obtain with a felony on their record.

A new criminal code will become effective July 1, 2014.  This is the first major revision since 1977.  The purpose of the new act, in part, is to ease the burden on the facilities of the Indiana Department of Corrections and increase the utilization of community correction programs.  Judge Shively believes these changes will present significant challenges at the local level.

One of Judge Shively’s most rewarding experiences has occurred in family law cases.  Those decisions he hopes, have fostered a foundation for parents to work more effectively for the best interest of their children post-divorce.

Though Judge Shively’s time is spread thinly through his involvement in the community and his time on the bench, he does find time to himself. It is in these moments that he enjoys the quiet hobby of reading and travel with his family facilitated by his wife, Linda, who is a travel agent with Ambassador Travel.

Judge Shively’s appointment was of superior quality and we may rest assured that he and the other judges are serving our community to the absolute best of their individual and combined abilities. Their policies and programs uphold the standard of excellence that has many other counties around the state taking notice.

7th Circuit Upholds Re-Sentencing In Mortgage Fraud Scheme

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A northern Indiana couple convicted in a mortgage fraud scheme has lost its second appeal of the spouses’ sentences, with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in its second opinion in the case that the district court did not err in calculating loss or imposing time served.

In 2005, Adrian Tartareanu and Minas Litos established a house-flipping business known as Red Brick Investment Companies. Together with Daniela Tartareanu — the only Red Brick employee with a real estate license — the company helped buyers with bad credit or limited finances apply for mortgage loans and sold 45 houses to these buyers between 2007 and 2009.

Though Red Brick provided down payments funds for each sale, the company falsely stated on loan applications that its buyers used their own money. The trio also helped buyers lie about their creditworthiness by reporting fictitious incomes and nonexistent bank accounts. After closing, Red Brick once again made undisclosed payments to their buyers to ensure they could make at least two payments on their loans before defaulting.

In 2008, Bank of America began an investigation into loan officer Stephanie Riggs’ loan files, which included 32 Red Brick sales loans. Riggs admitted the loan applications possibly contained false information, leading to her termination and the Tartareanus’ convictions on 16 counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana initially sentenced Adrian to three years in prison and Daniela to 21 months and ordered the couple to pay Bank of America $893,015 in restitution, but the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals remanded for resentencing in February 2017 after finding the bank was not a proper restitution victim. On remand, the district court imposed the same sentences and ordered each defendant to pay a $30,000 fine, finding an intended loss of between $1.5 and $3.5 million, including a $1.3 million loss to Bank of America. The court also rejected Daniela’s request for a “minor role reduction,” finding each Red Brick employee had an equal part in the scheme.
The 7th Circuit upheld the Tartareanus’ new sentences on Thursday, with Judge William Bauer first writing the district court properly included Bank of America’s losses in the intended loss calculation. Intended loss includes the total amount of money the defendants intended to place at risk, Bauer said, regardless of whether an entity such as Bank of America – which the court previously found was complicit in the scheme — can truly be considered a “victim.”

Friday, April 6


NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Kicking-off last week in California, the landmark “Newsboys United Tour” saw sellout crowds throughout the opening weekend.

Aces split second day of Racer Classic

0

UE defeats Oakland in the second game of the day

MURRAY, Ky. – In day two of the Racer Classic, the University of Evansville softball team split games against Kent State and Oakland.  The Purple Aces fell to Kent State by a 6-3 final in game one before earning a 9-6 triumph over Oakland on Saturday evening.

“I thought we pitched really well in both games today,” UE head coach Mat Mundell said.  “We were able to really execute offensively in the second game.  We have been waiting for our offense to turn the corner, hopefully that was it.”

Highlighting game one was a 3-run home run by Morgan Florey, which gave the Aces (7-15) the lead before KSU rallied back.  In game two, the offense erupted for nine runs with the difference being a 4-run sixth inning.

Evansville fell behind by a 2-0 score in game one to Kent State.  The Golden Flashes plated a pair of runs in the opening frame.  UE starter Emily Lockhart kept Kent State off balance and the offense was able to take advantage in the top half of the fifth.

Elyse Hickey hit a 1-out single before Brittany Hay was hit by a pitch.  With two outs, Morgan Florey came to the plate and delivered her second home run in as many weekends to put Evansville on top for the first time at 3-2.

The lead was short-lived, however, as KSU added two runs in both the 5th and 6th frames to finish the contest with a 6-3 victory.  Pacing their offense was Emily Dobbin, who went 3-4 with three RBI and two runs scored.  Evansville racked up eight hits with Florey picking up three and Hickey notching two.

Florey took the ball in game two versus Oakland and got the job done in the circle and at the plate.  She kept the Golden Grizzlies off the board over the first three innings while her offense took a 2-0 lead.  Allison Daggett led the bottom of the third off with a single before Eryn Gould was hit by a pitch.  With one out, Florey came to the plate and delivered an RBI double to center to score Daggett.  Gould would later score on an error.

After Oakland tied it up with a pair of runs in the fourth, the Aces struck back with two more in the bottom of the frame.  Lindsay Renneisen led off with a single and scored the go-ahead run on a double by Ashleigh Downing.  Downing came home on a 2-out single from Gould.

Another run scored in the fifth when Renneisen’s second hit of the day brought home Brittany Hay, who reached on a fielder’s choice earlier in the inning.  Evansville put the icing on the cake with four runs in the sixth.  Two came off the bat of Hay, who hit a 2-run single before McKenzie Johnson notched a 2-run double to give UE a 9-3 lead.  Oakland rallied in the seventh with three runs, but Florey was able to close out the 9-6 win.

UE notched nine runs on ten hits in the game with Gould, Johnson and Renneisen posting two apiece.  Daggett, Hay and Gould each recorded two runs.  Florey threw all seven innings in the start on the way to her fourth win of the season.

the Aces play Murray State at 4:30 p.m.

 

Evansville 2, Florida Gulf Coast 4

0
The University of Evansville baseball team showed signs of life at the plate, rallying back against Florida Gulf Coast in the late innings, however the Purple Aces ran out of outs, falling 4-2 on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Swanson Stadium in Fort Myers.

UE sent out junior left hander pitcher Alex Weigand to the hill to start, who was coming off his best start of the season against Western Illinois. However, the momentum didn’t carry over, as he fell into a deep hole early. The Eagles opened the bottom of the first with a single and a throwing error, putting two on with no outs. Two batters later, Richie Garcia lifted a double to left-center, driving in a pair. Later in the opening frame, Jay Hayes launched a sacrifice fly to right, putting FGCU up 3-0 at the end of one.

“We didn’t come out ready to play”, said University of Evansville baseball head coach Wes Carroll. “Our starter on the mound gave up a two strike hit, muffs a bunt, gets crossed up and gave away too many freebies at the start of the game. Defensively, we didn’t play good enough behind him.”

After getting out of the second inning unscathed, Weigand would get in trouble again, as a double, a hit batter and a walk loaded up the bases with no one out, ending Weigand’s day. Sophomore reliever Adam Lukas would come in and put out the fire with minimal damage, allowing a single tally on a double play.Weigand’s line on the day was four runs, three earned on three hits, getting one strike out and one walk in two innings of work. Lukas and senior set-up man Ryan Brady and reliever Jimmy Ward would combine to keep Florida Gulf Coast off the scoreboard the rest of the way.

The Aces bats were held silent through the first six innings, as Eagles junior southpaw Josh Dye held them scoreless on just three hits. Dye would pile up a career-high nine strikeouts across the first six frames.

“Our bats, against a really good pitcher in Dye”, said Carroll. “He did a really good job keeping us off balanced through six innings.”

However, UE would finally catch up to Dye in the seventh. Matt Jones got the ball rolling for the Aces with an RBI single to center, driving in senior outfielder Dalton Horstmeier. Cooper Trinkle would follow that up with a single to left, putting two aboard for sophomore outfielder Kenton Crews. Crews would proceed to groove an RBI single, cutting the Florida Gulf Coast lead to 4-2.

“In winning time, what we got out of our bullpen in Lukas and Brady, giving us a chance, where we showed some life”, said Carroll. “We got a couple of runs back.”

That would be as close as the Aces would get, as they dropped to 5-7 on the season. The Eagles are now 12-2.

“Against a good opponent, we’re just not ready to play”, said Carroll. “We still haven’t played a solid nine innings of baseball, from pitching to defense to timely hitting. I feel like we haven;t done that against a good opponent. Here we are, playing a Florida Gulf Coast team, a (Missouri) Valley type of team, a team we’re going to have to face in the next couple of weeks. We did not absorb any pressure and reapply it. How poorly we played, we still had an opportunity to win this game, and that’s something we’re going to continue to work on.”

Evansville would look to avoid the sweep Sunday morning, when they send sophomore starting pitcher David Ellis out to face FGCU.  First pitch from Fort Myers has been moved up to 9:30 a.m. Central Time.Evansville 2, Florida Gulf Coast 4
