ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO EXCUSE APPEARANCE OF DAVID L.
MENDELSON FROM STATUS CONFERENCE SET FOR FEBRUARY 10, 2026
AT 2:30 P.M.
Before the Court is the Motion to Excuse Appearance of David L. Mendelson From
Status Conference Set for February 10, 2026 at 2:30 p.m., filed by Plaintiff RowVaughn Wells
on February 2, 2026. (ECF No. 551.) In the Motion, Mendelson, one of Wells’s attorneys, seeks
to be excused from the upcoming status conference based on a professional conflict that will
have him out of town during the status conference. Mendelson asserts that “Plaintiff’s counsel
from Romanucci & Blandin will be present and provide a full status report/update to the Court,”
and “Benjamin Wachtel, of Mendelson Law Firm, will appear as local counsel.” (Id. at PageID
8441.)
For good cause shown, the Motion is GRANTED. Mendelson is excused from attending
the February 10 status conference.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 2nd day of February, 2026.
