Court Orders Portion Of Roof Removed Due To Trespass

Court Orders Portion Of Roof Removed Due To Trespass

by Jennifer Nelson of Indiana Lawyer

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed a jury verdict in a trespass and negligence lawsuit brought in a dispute over water draining from a housing development into neighboring property. In doing so, the judges ordered part of a roof to come down due to trespass.

Liter’s of Indiana purchased property next to that owned by Earl Bennett and his half-brother Daniel Bodine, where Bennett lived with his wife. The roof of Bennett’s home extended over his property line by two feet into the property owned by Liter’s, which it was developing in a residential neighborhood. Liter’s erected a “spite fence” made of chain link to mark its property and also constructed a basin on its property to collect water for drainage.

Liter’s sued Bennett and Bodine seeking to enjoin and recover damages for continuing trespass on its property; the defendants counterclaimed, alleging nuisance since Liter’s had erected the spite fence. They also alleged that the company had negligently designed its subdivision and that the post-development surface water runoff from the property would flood the defendants’ property.

A jury ruled in favor of Liter’s on its trespass claim, but awarded no damages. It found for the brothers on their nuisance claim, but also awarded no damages. The jury ruled in favor of the brothers on their negligence claim, awarded more than $51,000 to each brother.

“[U]nder the common enemy doctrine, it is not unlawful for a landowner to accelerate or increase the flow of surface water by limiting or eliminating ground absorption or changing the grade of the land, even if it causes water to stand in unusual quantities on the adjacent land or to pass into or over the adjacent land in greater quantities or in other directions than the water did before. In order to impose liability for surface water discharge, it must be collected on the Liter’s Property and cast off in concentrated volumes onto the Appellees’ Property. More importantly, the distinction lies in the character of the flow as it enters the adjoining property,” Judge Patricia Riley wrote in Liter’s of Indiana, Inc. v. Earl E. Bennett and Daniel L. Bodine, 39A05-1408-PL-401.

“Admittedly, there was a lot of conflicting evidence offered by both parties. Some witnesses testified in a manner favorable to Liter’s and others favorable to the Appellees. However, as the reviewing court, we respect the jury’s exclusive province to weigh conflicting evidence.
From the evidence of the case — though not free from conflict — the jury reasonably determined that the construction of Liter’s undersized basin led to the casting off of surface water in concentrated volumes onto the Appellees’ Property. In this regard, we find that the common enemy doctrine does not preclude the Appellees’ claim of negligence against Liter’s, and we affirm the trial court.”

The judges remanded to the trial court with instructions for the issuance of a permanent injunction requiring the brothers to remove the unpermitted portion of Bennett’s roof that extends over Liter’s property. The continued existence of the roof extending to the neighboring property is a continuing trespass, the court held.

Dr. David Orentlicher Files for Democratic Nomination in 8th Congressional District

Terre Haute, IN- Dr. David Orentlicher announced today that he is officially filing his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana’s 8th District.

“I am running for Congress to give hard-working families a strong and effective voice in Washington,” said Orentlicher. “Too many people are losing faith in an America that has inspired so many generations. As the middle class continues to shrink, people are working harder for less, and children have an even smaller chance to succeed than did their parents.”

“We must restore the power of the American Dream and rekindle the idea that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can provide a good life for your family and a better future for your children.”

“This is a critical time for our country,” Orentlicher declared. “We’ve lost too many good paying jobs, our schools are in decline, and many of our neighborhoods suffer from drug use and other crime. When I served in our state legislature, I worked hard to solve the State’s serious problems, passing legislation to stimulate job growth, improve access to health care, and protect children from abuse and neglect. As a member of Congress, I will work just as hard to solve our national problems.”

“We are gratified by the strong support our campaign has been receiving,” added Orentlicher. “As we’ve emphasized the need for real economic opportunity in the 8th district, voters have responded enthusiastically. We raised more than $100,000 in our first six weeks of the campaign, and we have raised the greatest amount among Indiana candidates challenging incumbent members of the House.”

David Orentlicher is an educator, physician, attorney, and former three-term member of the Indiana House of Representatives. He has practiced both medicine and law, and he teaches at Indiana University School of Medicine in Terre Haute, IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis, and IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law.

While directing the medical ethics program at the American Medical Association, Orentlicher drafted the AMA’s first-ever Patients’ Bill of Rights. He also wrote conflicts of interest guidelines that protect the integrity of the patient-physician relationship.

Orentlicher has written many books and articles on a wide range of topics in ethics, law, and medicine. His current project, Economic Inequality and College Admissions Policies, makes the case for revising college admissions policies to address the serious problem of economic inequality in the United States.

Orentlicher’s wife, Judy, is a professor of political science at Indiana University. They have two children.

Court OKs bulk confidential juvenile data transfer to ICJI

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

Confidential data in criminal and juvenile delinquency cases around the state will be provided in bulk to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute under an order issued Thursday by the Indiana Supreme Court.

The order signed by Chief Justice Loretta Rush authorizes the bulk collection of data ICJI says it needs to complete mandated assessments and to comply with numerous federal requirements. The order also details extensive security measures that will be taken to safeguard data that will include identifying information such as partial Social Security numbers.

“ICJI seeks access on a continuing, monthly basis to all case record data of all individuals charged in criminal and juvenile delinquency cases in Indiana including, but not limited to arrest, court referrals, diversion, juvenile detention, petitions filed, delinquency records, probation records, supervision records, placements, secured confinement records, and waivers (of juvenile jurisdiction),” the order says.

“The Court hereby grants the request for Bulk Data/Compiled Information under Administrative Rule 9(F)(4) to the extent discussed herein. Specifically, ICJI shall receive data from Indiana Court Records and INcite from courts utilizing the Odyssey Case Management System exercising criminal and juvenile delinquency jurisdiction related to arrest, court referrals, diversion, juvenile detention, petitions filed, delinquency records, probation records, supervision records, placements, secured confinement records, and waivers (of juvenile jurisdiction). However, with regard to social security numbers, dates of birth, and addresses, the data provided is limited to the last four digits, the month and year of birth, and the zip code of the address.”

Approval of the bulk data transfer is for one year, but may be renewed. The court noted in the order that only courts operating on the Odyssey system are included because “Serious questions exist whether data can be transferred from non-Odyssey courts in compliance with the enhanced security standards.”

The court found allowing access to the data serves a public interest and is an appropriate use of public resources.

“After consideration of the request for waiver of individual notice to individuals affected by release of the information excluded from public access, the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the purposes for which the information is sought substantially outweighs the privacy interests protected by this rule. Accordingly, due to the highly secure manner for the protection of the data, the Court waives the requirement of individual notice to all parties affected by release of the sought information to which public access is prohibited or restricted,” the order says.

Balentine becomes UE scoring leader in win over Bears

Balentine scored 18 points to set the UE mark

 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A 3-pointer in the second half made University of Evansville senior D.J. Balentine the all-time scoring leader for the Purple Aces as UE topped Missouri State by a final of 83-64 on Saturday afternoon at the Ford Center.

 

Needing 18 points for the mark, Balentine did just that.  All 18 of his points came in the second half and the clincher came with 2:49 remaining in the game as he posted the 2,280th point of his illustrious career.

 

“This is unbelievable, I am so grateful for this,” Balentine said.  “The embrace from my teammates after getting that basket was the best feeling ever.  I never thought it would feel like this and to do it in front of the home crowd is even better.”

Standing at 15 points, UE (19-6, 8-4 MVC) junior Jaylon Brown found Balentine open on the break and Balentine converted on the shot.

 

“I knew what I was doing in trying to get him the ball,” Brown said.  “I knew what he needed and was looking for him.”

 

Balentine knew from the start that the basket was good.

 

“As soon as JB got the ball, he gave me a look and that is when I knew he was going to pass it to me,” Balentine explained.  “I knew it was good when I let it go.”

 

Head coach Marty Simmons, who also coached previous record-holder Colt Ryan, was proud of his senior.

 

“This is an incredible accomplishment,” Simmons said.  “He is the first person to credit his teammates, who set the screens and pass him the ball, but at the end of the day, you have to put it in the bucket.”
“Everyone is so excited for him.  When he was a freshman, Colt talked to him and tried to give him advice on what he needed to do at this level,” Simmons continued.  “D.J. came to the program as someone who could score the basketball and was a pretty good scorer in high school, but may be even better in college.  That is what makes him so special.”

 

Balentine finished with a total of 18 points, but it was Brown leading the way with 19 points, tying his career high.  He was 6-of-11 from the floor and knocked down 3 of his 5 3-point attempts.  Egidijus Mockevicius posted his 20th double-double of the season, recording 11 points and 12 rebounds while Mislav Brzoja continued a nice stretch of play with 13 points and 6 boards.

 

Missouri State (10-14, 6-6 MVC) was led by Chris Kendrix, who scored a game-high 21 points and hauled in 7 rebounds.  He hit 11 of his 13 free throws.

 

Evansville scored the first three points of the game, forcing Missouri State to miss its first four shots.  The Aces continued to hold the lead at the midway point of the half and added to that lead with a 9-0 run.  Up 16-12, the Aces went on the run as Mislav Brzoja capped it off with a triple.

 

The Bears ended the run as Jarred Dixon connected on a floater.  MSU would later cut the Aces lead to seven at 34-27 in the final two minutes of the half before UE had a run of its own, scoring the final six points, including a Willie Wiley shot at the buzzer, to go into halftime up 40-27.  Wiley had a strong game, tying his career mark with 8 points.

 

A 3-pointer by Jaylon Brown opened up the second half and the Aces were able to cruise from there.  They led by as many as 24 points (80-56) in the final two minutes before taking the 83-64 win.

 

On Thursday, the Aces return to action at the Ford Center as they play host to Illinois State in an 8 pm game on CBS Sports Network.

 

Three-ball sends Eagles to 10th straight loss

0

Missouri S&T (7-13, 3-10 GLVC): 76

Southern Indiana (10-11, 3-10 GLVC): 69

ROLLA, Mo.-Despite a dominating effort in the paint, University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball had no answer for the three-ball Saturday as host Missouri University of Science and Technology defeated the Screaming Eagles, 76-69, in a Great Lakes Valley Conference bout.

USI (10-11, 3-10 GLVC) outscored the Miners 50-26 in the paint, but Missouri S&T connected on a season-high nine three-pointers, including six in the second half, to hand the Eagles their 10th consecutive loss.

The Eagles jumped out to quick 6-0 lead to open the contest, but a 17-2 Missouri S&T outburst put the Eagles into an early nine-point deficit.

USI ended the opening period by scoring seven straight points to trim Missouri S&T’s lead to 19-17; then scored the first four points of the second frame to take a brief two-point advantage.

Missouri S&T, however, used an 8-0 run late in the second quarter to forge a 33-30 halftime advantage. The Miners outscored the Eagles 24-18 in the third period to extend their advantage to nine heading into the fourth quarter.

After falling behind by as much as 10 points early in the fourth period, the Eagles used a 9-2 run to cut Missouri S&T’s advantage to 62-59 with five minutes to play. The Miners, however, drained a pair of three-pointers in their next two possessions to turn away USI’s surge and push their advantage back to nine points with 3:27 to play.

Missouri S&T, which ranked 15th in the GLVC in made three-pointers per game (3.84) heading into the game, sealed the Eagles’ fate two minutes later as it drained its ninth three-pointer of the game to push its lead back into double-digits (73-63).

When the dust was settled, the Miners ended the day by shooting 52.8 percent (28-53) from the field and 50.0 percent (9-18) from long range. USI, meanwhile, shot 47.0 percent (31-66) from the field, but was just 2-of-22 (.091) from behind the arc.

USI, which out-rebounded the Miners, 39-25, also struggled from the free throw line, where it went just 5-of-12 (.417). Missouri S&T was 11-of-13 (.845) from the charity stripe.

Junior forward Hannah Wascher (Rantoul, Illinois) led the Eagles with 24 points and 11 rebounds, while sophomore guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) added 17 points and eight rebounds. Junior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) added 10 points, six assists, and four steals.

Missouri S&T was led by junior guard Raetchel Gray, who had 24 points, and sophomore guard Janie Arand, who finished with 18 points.

USI returns to action Thursday at 5:15 p.m. when it hosts Maryville University at the Physical Activities Center.
