State of Indiana, Appellant/cross-Appellee (plaintiff Below) v. Beth A. Neff, Appellee/cross-Appellant (defendant…

Summary

The court held that judicial removal under the Removal Statute requires a public official's general failure to perform official duties, not merely poor or improper performance of some duties.

The court affirmed the trial court's judgment in Neff's favor.
