Noe Escamilla,                                             July 13, 2016
Appellant-Plaintiff,                                       Court of Appeals Case No.
                                                           54A01-1506-CT-602

Shiel Sexton Company, Inc.,                                The Honorable Heather L.

[1]   I respectfully dissent from the majority’s decision to deny Escamilla’s petition

      for rehearing and I wish to reiterate the position that I expressed in greater

      detail in my previous dissenting opinion. See Escamilla v. Shiel Sexton Co., No.

      54A01-1506-CT-602, Slip Op. at *8 (Ind. Ct. App. March 31, 2016) (Baker, J.,

      dissenting). I believe that knowledge of a party’s immigration status alone

      sheds no meaningful light on the question of whether that party will one day

      face deportation. Such information cannot be “considered,” in any real sense

      of the word, and can serve only as a basis for speculation that will likely result

      in prejudice. I would vote to grant the petition for rehearing as I believe that

      the majority should address these concerns.
