Always follow the money?What I like about appeals: there are no billing guidelines or rubrics that demonstrate what is excessive or not.
What I like about trials: the insurer expects 14+ hour billable days.

Ben and Guy made the trades: COA again rejects Evansville?s gun-in-park suit appeal | The Indiana Lawyer
Regarding the issues raised to the trial court and then to the COA not just once, but twice now, cue the scene in the Wizard of Oz in which the coroner reads the Wicked Witch of the East's death certificate.The COA noted the issues the city argued in this appeal were the same as those brought before the court that previously ruled in favor of Benjamin Magenheimer.
For those that don't recognize Indiana Professional Conduct Rule 3.3, it prohibits attorneys (who are officers of the court) from knowingly deceiving or attempting to deceive a court, by act or omission, or knowingly allowing someone else to do so without taking affirmative action to disclose it. It's titled more affirmatively as "Candor Toward the Tribunal".We also note that the City made no mention of Magenheimer I in its lead brief to this court despite that opinion’s conspicuous treatment of the arguments raised by the City in the instant appeal. Indeed, the trial court cited Magenheimer I in its entry denying the City’s motion for summary judgment. Attorneys have an affirmative obligation to bring relevant authority to this court’s attention, even if that authority is adverse to the attorney’s client. See Ind. Professional Conduct Rule 3.3(a)(2). Magenheimer I clearly satisfies that test.

Well, the real reason I went to law school was . . .
. . . oh, wait.
May be counting chickens before they are hatched (some really old eggs here too), but INGO should have an open carry picnic in the park when E-ville finally throws in the towel.
Just FYI, the City of Evansville has filed a Petition for Rehearing, asking the Court of Appeals to reconsider its most recent ruling - and plaintiff/appellee has filed a response. Both documents are available here:

Hey Guy, how many times do they get to appeal this?
Correct answer: 3. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, xcepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out.
Anyone that quotes Monty Python in legal proceedings has got to be ok.

You actually quoted Monty Python in a legal document? EPIC! (Though it looks like some boring legalese got stuck in the middle of it. )
You, sir, are earning every dollar. LOVE IT!

The Month Python reference was priceless.
The city should be mad at their officials throwing away their tax money.
I've been mad for quite a while that my town spent millions of dollars to build a new fire house to replace a perfectly good, but aging firehouse. **** has simply gotten out of hand, and try as I might, I can't vote the blood sucking incumbents out by myself.The Month Python reference was priceless.
