Remonstrators filed a complaint opposing an annexation. The St. Joseph Superior Court disallowed the annexation based on a statute applying only to counties with a population between 200,000 and 300,000. Only St. Joseph County falls within this range. The City of South Bend appealed, contending that the statute is unconstitutional special legislation. The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the trial court to disallow the annexation. See City of South Bend v. Kimsey, 751 N.E.2d 805 (Ind. Ct. App. 2001). The City seeks transfer of the appeal to the Supreme Court.
