COA reverses summary judgment on small claims complaint
Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com
The Indiana Court of Appeals has reversed summary judgment for a Marion County couple on a small claims appeal after determining the woman who brought the appeal against the couple did not violate local rules in filing the appeal.
In Karin Schwab v. Kyle Morrissey, et al, 49A02-1612-PL-2746, Karin Schwab filed a small claims complaint against Kyle and Jamie Morrissey in May 2011 alleging they had “made willful and deliberate misrepresentations regarding the central air conditioning in the property they sold to her.†The case was moved from the Washington Township division to the Franklin Township division, which entered judgment in favor of the Morrisseys on Sept. 22.
Schwab then filed the same complaint in Marion Superior Court on Nov. 18, and both parties eventually moved for summary judgment. Schwab moved to strike the Morrisseys’ motion as untimely, which the trial court granted.
The Morrisseys then filed a motion to dismiss, alleging Schwab failed to file a “petition to appeal†the small claims court judgment in the trial court — rather than merely repleading her original claims — as they claimed local court rules required. The couple also argued the small claims court had failed to certify and transmit the record of its proceedings to the trial court.
The Marion Superior Court court granted the Morrisseys’ motion to dismiss with prejudice and denied Schwab’s motion to correct error, finding that because “the procedures precedent to filing a cause of action which comes to the Marion Superior Court from the Small Claims Court of Marion County were not fulfilled, the underlying action was dismissed. To rule otherwise would eviscerate the Marion County Local Rules on Small Claims Court cases and render Small Claims courts ineffective.â€
Schwab’s pending motion for summary judgment was then denied as moot, so she appealed, arguing the trial court’s decision was erroneous. The Indiana Court of Appeals agreed, with Judge Mark Bailey writing in a Friday opinion that the trial court failed to show which local appellate procedure Schwab failed to follow.
“Moreover, it is not clear from the face of the local rule itself that an appeal of the small claims court judgment is initiated in the superior court in any way other than through the filing of a complaint,†Bailey wrote. “Although the Morrisseys contended in their motion to dismiss that this rule requires an appealing party to file a ‘petition to appeal,’ they make no mention of that contention on appeal and therefore waived it.â€
Waiver notwithstanding, the appellate court found local rules only require an appealing party to file in the superior court a new complaint that repleads “in its entirety†the claims raised in the small claims action, which must be done within 20 days of the case being docketed in the Marion Superior Court and within 60 days of the small claims judgment.
Because Schwab met those requirements, she fulfilled all that was asked of her in the local rule, so the Morrisseys failed to make a prima facie showing that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law, Bailey said. Thus, the entry of summary judgment in their favor was reversed.

 KENTUCKY
Saturday marks the 22nd anniversary of the day Heather Teague disappeared from Newburgh beach in Henderson.
Her mother, Sarah Teague, held a vigil for Heather.
She has not stopped searching for her daughter since her disappearance.
Earlier this month, she started an online petition to figure out what happened to her daughter.
She’s also urged Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin to look over the FBI files and other information pertaining to her daughter’s case from 1995.
“I just need signatures on this petition and just pray because like I say, God’s revealing so much and we know Heather is coming home,†said Teague. “We know without a doubt we’re going to have the truth and Heather’s coming home.â€
The FBI declared Heather legally dead on October 22nd, 2007 even though her body has not yet been found.

Man Sentenced In Southwest Indiana Crash That Killed Girl
Man Sentenced In Southwest Indiana Crash That Killed Girl
IL for www.theindianalawyer.com
A young man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison in a head-on collision that killed a 15-year-old girl in southwestern Indiana.
WFIE-TV reported 19-year-old Osiel Marroquin learned his punishment in Booneville Thursday after pleading guilty last month to charges including causing death while driving intoxicated. Marroquin said that he doesn’t remember details from the night of the crash and apologized.
He was charged after the Dec. 17 crash along Indiana 62 that killed Skylar Robinson. The Boonville High School student was one of two passengers in a car hit head-on by Marroquin’s sport-utility vehicle. The other passenger, an 18-year-old woman, suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Police say Marroquin was driving the wrong way along Indiana 62 in Warrick County. The Robinson family wants tougher laws for drunken driving cases.
