constitutionality of the search of her residence and the admissibility of the
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Opinion 23A-CR-327 | August 7, 2023 Page 1 of 2
incriminating evidence seized. At trial, she stated that she had “[n]o objections”
to the admission of the evidence. Tr. Vol. 2 at 127. Our supreme court has
stated that “we will not review claims, even for fundamental error, when
appellants expressly declare at trial that they have no objection.” Taylor v. State,
86 N.E.3d 157, 161 (Ind. 2017) (citing Halliburton v. State, 1 N.E.3d 670, 678-79
(Ind. 2013)), cert. denied (2018). Accordingly, we will not review Maddox’s
claims of error and fundamental error, and we affirm her convictions. 1
[2] Affirmed.
Brown, J., and Robb, Sr.J., concur.

In her reply brief, Maddox urges us to consider her fundamental error claim, citing cases from this Court
that were decided before Taylor and Halliburton. “As Indiana’s intermediate appellate court, we are bound by
Indiana Supreme Court precedent and are not at liberty to ‘reconsider’ that precedent.” Hill v. State, 122
N.E.3d 979, 982 (Ind. Ct. App. 2019) (quoting Minor v. State, 36 N.E.3d 1065, 1074 (Ind. Ct. App. 2015),
trans. denied), trans. denied.
