Scates v. State
Indiana Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the CourtStaton, P.J.
Oma Scates appeals from the dismissal of her complaint for damages. The trial court found that Scates’ complaint “fails to state a claim against defendants upon which relief can be granted in that the action has not been brought within the appropriate statutory period. . . .” We affirm.
Scates’ land (53 square feet) was taken 1 by the State for the purpose of highway construction in 1958. Although the State offered Scates $150.00 at that time, Scates refused the offer; the State refused to negotiate. The highway was opened in 1961. Scates filed her complaint for damages on February 24, 1975.
