Taliyah Brooks v. USA Track & Field, Inc.

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Brooks’s motion to amend because she filed it after the trial court entered final judgment resolving her declaratory-judgment action. The Court held that a complaint cannot be amended after final judgment unless the judgment is first vacated or set aside, and that Trial Rule 15(A) therefore does not apply at that stage. The Court also summarily affirmed the lower court’s disposition of the summary-judgment orders.
