Oshinski v. Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District

Indiana Court of Appeals

Decided February 22, 2006No. 45A03-0502-CV-58PublishedCited by 25 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

BARNES, Judge.

Case Summary

Thomas Oshinski appeals the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District ("NICTD"). We affirm.

Issues

We address the two dispositive issues, which we restate as:

I. whether Oshinski waived his objection to NICTD's amended affirmative defense by failing to object to such amendment; and

II. whether the State of Indiana has given "blanket consent" to be sued in Indiana courts under the Federal Employer's Liability Act (CFELA"), thus making compliance with the Indiana Tort Claims Act ("ITCA") unnecessary.
