Ind. Decisions - Question re dissent in COA opinion yesterday
If you read the dissent in the Court of Appeals opinion yesterday in the case of Lisa A. Leever v. Doug R. Leever, you may have had the same question as the ILB. The first paragraph of Judge Riley's dissent is set entirely in boldface type, which some might consider, particularly in a court opinion, the web equivalent of shouting. Surely this was a typo? The ILB has been unable to receive a response to its inquiry, presumably because of the holidays.
[Updated at 10:41 AM] The ILB has received two messages.
First, from Steve Lancaster of the Indiana Courts:
Marcia,Second, from Ted A. Waggoner, a Rochester attorney:Judge Riley did not intend for the first paragraph of her dissent in Leever v. Leever to be set in bold-face. It will be corrected to standard type.
I also noticed that the dissent talked about dividing the marital real estate, while the majority held that the trial court was to divide the marital estate. That seemed odd to me.
