Crystal Reeves v. Sharon Downin, 03A01-0904-CV-197
Civil. Reverses denial of Reeves’ motion to correct error following a judgment in favor of Downin of $2,125 for damages to Reeves’ apartment. The trial court erred when it entered judgment in favor of Downin on her counterclaim and when it denied Reeves’ motion. Downin was barred from seeking damages for repair costs due to physical damage because she failed to send an itemized list of damages to Reeves within 45 days. Affirms judgment for Reeves on her claim for return of the security deposit and remands for further proceedings.

A.K. v. State of Indiana, 49A02-0812-JV-1094
Juvenile. Affirms denial of motion to dismiss. The objective of Indiana Code Section 31-37-11-2(b) is to facilitate an orderly and timely process; the section’s deadline is not a mechanism for dismissal when the court has accommodated the juvenile and a timely objection has not been made.
