Next Tuesday, March 23rd
- 2:00 AM - Vicki Sue Maze v. Robert L. Davenport & Corey Filson (50A03-0911-CV-531) - Vicki Sue Maze ("Maze") appeals the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Robert L. Davenport ("Davenport") and Corey Filson ("Filson"). The trial court concluded that Maze's claim for damages for breach of contract was barred by the Statute of Frauds, because no writing exists that sets forth the terms of Davenport's oral promise to convey real estate. Maze argues that she designated sufficient evidence to establish the elements of the equitable doctrines of part performance and promissory estoppel, which would remove her claims from application of the Statute of Frauds. She also argues that the trial court erred in failing to address her unjust enrichment claim. The Scheduled Panel Members are: Judges Kirsch, Darden and May.

- 5:00 PM - Richard L. Barnes v. State of Indiana (82A05-0910-CR-592) - Richard Barnes was convicted of Class A misdemeanor battery on a police officer, Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement, and Class B misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Barnes appeals his convictions and argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions. Barnes also claims that the trial court abused its discretion when it refused Barnes tendered jury instruction concerning resisting unlawful entry into the apartment he shared with his estranged wife. The Scheduled Panel Members are: Judges Mathias, Crone and Brown. [Where: Indiana University Law School-Indianapolis, Wynne Moot Courtroom, Indianapolis, Indiana ]
Next Thursday, March 25th

State of Indiana (49A02-0907-CR-682) - Derrick Bush was convicted of carrying a handgun without a license, a Class A misdemeanor, following a stop and search of a car Bush was driving. Bush appeals his conviction, contending the warrantless search of the automobile was in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article 1, section 11 of the Indiana Constitution and the trial court therefore abused its discretion in admitting evidence of the handgun. The Scheduled Panel Members are: Chief Judge Baker, Judges Bailey and Robb. [Where:Richardson Chapel, Franklin College, 101 Branigan Boulevard, Franklin, Indiana]
