Ind. Courts - Another case lost for months in the Clerk's Office
Check the docket to confirm that your case has, in fact, been transmitted to the Court of Appeals after being fully briefed, as emphasized in this footnote #1 in an opinion issued today: Jerry A. Gore v. State of Indiana (NFP), authored by Chief Judge Baker:
As we have pointed out in Lake County Board of Elections and Registration v. Copeland, --- N.E.2d ---, No. 45A04-071-CV-560, slip op. p. 5 (Feb. 27, 2008) and Gilbert v. State, 874 N.E.2d 1015, n.1 (Ind. Ct. App. 2007), we have recently become aware of some difficulties in receiving the prompt transmission of fully-briefed appeals to our court. Indeed, the case herein was fully briefed on June 21, 2007, but was not transferred to our court until February 26, 2008—a delay of over eight months. We remind counsel that a link to the Clerk’s online docket is available at http://www.in.gov/judiciary/cofc/ and counsel may check the docket to confirm that the case has, in fact, been transmitted to this court after being fully briefed.For more on Copeland, see this ILB entry from Feb. 27th, headed "Ramifications of problems in the Clerk's Office continue."
