I have not seen where this ruling by the Indiana Court has been appealed. It should have been appealed by now. Take a deep breath. There is nothing here to appeal. There is nothing here that constitutes any kind of 'finding'.
All the court did was Affirm the trial court's grant of the Governor's Motion To Dismiss.

However if the plaintiffs had won, The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels would have been forced to invalidate Obama’s receipt of Indiana’s electoral votes and it is highly likely that other states would have followed suit.
The Indiana Court of Appeals took a further step and declared that all presidential candidates born on US soil qualify as a natural born citizens. They said: “Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by [the Supreme Court of the United States in their 1898 decision in the case of U.S. v.] Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States natural-born citizens.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels,” Nov. 12, 2009.
No court in any other state and no federal court including the US Supreme Court has challenged or invalidated the Indiana ruling.
