MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) _ The Indiana Court of Appeals has dismissed a Muncie church from a lawsuit filed over the death of a 4-month-old boy left unattended in a home by his baby sitter.
 
  The three-judge panel on Wednesday removed Muncie's Westminster Presbyterian Church as a defendant in the suit stemming from Matthew Cheng's January 2010 death.
 
  The Star Press reports that Cheng's parents had sued in 2011, alleging that the church should be held liable because one of its pastors had recommended Tina Byrd's services as a baby sitter but didn't mention that an infant had recently died while in her care.
 
  Byrd was sentenced to six years in prison in September 2010 after admitting that she left Cheng unattended in her Muncie home.
