Ind. Decisions - Court of Appeals issues 1 today (and 6 NFP)

For publication opinions today (1):

In Craig P. Coffman and Coffman Proactive CPA Services, L.L.C. v. Olson & Company, P.C., a 7-page opinion, Judge Najam writes:

Craig P. Coffman and Coffman Proactive CPA Services, L.L.C. (“Coffman Proactive”) bring this interlocutory appeal from the trial court’s order denying their request for transfer of venue. Coffman and Coffman Proactive raise a single issue for our review, namely, whether the court erred in denying their request. We affirm. * * *

Here, the controlling provision of Trial Rule 75(A) is subsection (4). That subsection states that preferred venue lies in “the county where either the principal office of a defendant organization is located or the office . . . of a defendant organization or individual to which the claim relates or out of which the claim arose is located . . . .” T.R. 75(A)(4) (emphases added). In light of that subsection, Coffman and Coffman Proactive assert that they do not maintain an office in Monroe County and that their principal office is located in Owen County, which is, therefore, the preferred venue. We cannot agree.
