Harry Eakin v. James Kumiega and Vicki

In two cases decided this date, two appellate panels have decided that failure to file an assignment of errors deprives the appellate court of review jurisdiction. Claywell v. Review Bd. of the Indiana Dept. of Employment and Training Serv., No. 93-A-1931 93-R-606 (May 31, 1994) 5th Dist. Ind.App., N.E.2d ;[Footnote 1] St. Amand-Zion v. Review Bd. of the Indiana Dept. of Employment and Training Serv., No. 93A02-9210-EX-497 (May 31, 1994) 4th Dist. Ind.App., 635 N.E.2d 184.[Footnote 2] This district disagrees. The jurisdictional predicate relied upon by the other panels is a relic of the past. The requirement has been abolished.[Footnote 3]
