M.C. v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)

Robb, Judge.

Case Summary and Issue

[1] After the State filed a delinquency petition alleging M.C. committed child molesting, M.C. filed a motion to dismiss arguing the juvenile court lacked jurisdiction. The juvenile court denied the motion, adjudicated M.C. a delinquent, and entered a dispositional order placing M.C. on non-reporting probation. M.C. appeals, presenting one issue for our review which we restate as whether the juvenile court had subject matter jurisdiction over the proceedings. Concluding it did not, we reverse the judgment of the juvenile court.
