Ind. Decisions - Court of Appeals issues 2 today (and 8 NFP)

For publication opinions today (2):

In Harmony Health Plan of Indiana, Inc., et al. v. Indiana Department of Administration and Anthem Insurance , a 17-page opinion, Chief Judge Baker writes:

Harmony argues that the trial court erred in dismissing its petition for judicial review against the respondents regarding the State’s award of contracts for Hoosier Healthwise, a Medicaid Program, after it was determined that Harmony was not the successful bidder on the contracts. Concluding that the trial court properly dismissed Harmony’s complaint, we affirm.
Scott Butterfield v. Jane (Butterfield) Constantine - "Scott Butterfield (“Scott”) appeals the trial court’s calculation of his child support, college expenses, and arrearage obligation owed to his ex-wife, Jane (Butterfield) Constantine (“Jane”). He raises the following issues that we consolidate and restate as: I. Whether the trial court properly calculated Scott’s obligation to pay his child’s post-secondary education. II. Whether the trial court properly applied his arrearage payment. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with instructions."

NFP civil opinions today (1):

John Smith and Pia Smith v. Lisbeth Skaalerud Gillette and Richard Gillette (NFP) - "Without reweighing the evidence or judging witness credibility, we conclude that the trial court could have concluded that the judgment was established by clear and convincing evidence. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in appointing the Gillettes as guardians"
