Opinion
Supreme Court 24S-SD-342 49S00-0409-PD-420

Benjamin Ritchie, Appellant, v. State of Indiana, Appellee.
Trial Court Case No. 49G04-0010-CF-1729
ORDER
Mark S. Massa Justice, Indiana Supreme Court
This case is before the Court on the State of Indiana's "Verified Motion to Set Execution Date." Ritchie, by counsel, has filed a motion seeking my recusal from 24S-SD-342. The basis for Ritchie's request is that while serving as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Marion County, I participated in his pretrial and trial proceedings. On October 3, 2024, this Court issued an order setting a briefing schedule and noting my non-participation in this matter.
Because I have already recused from this case, Ritchie's "Verified Motion for Recusal" from case number 24S-SD-342 is DENIED as moot.
