Opinion
Supreme Court Case No. 23S-CR-00070
05-17-2023
Avis Deforest WHITE, Appellant(s), v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee(s).
Order
By order dated March 13, 2023, the Court granted a petition seeking transfer of jurisdiction from the Court of Appeals. After further review, including consideration of the points presented by counsel at oral argument and discussion among the Justices in conference after the oral argument, the Court has determined that it should not assume jurisdiction over this appeal and that the Court of Appeals opinion reported as White v. State , 199 N.E.3d 1249, (Ind. Ct. App. 2022), should be reinstated as Court of Appeals precedent.
Accordingly, the order granting transfer is VACATED and transfer is hereby DENIED. Pursuant to Appellate Rule 58(B), this appeal is at an end.
All Justices concur, except Massa, J., and Molter, J., who dissent from the denial of transfer.
