No. 2:23-cv-02224-SHL-atc	v.
THE CITY OF MEMPHIS, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO EXCUSE THE APPEARANCE OF
FLORENCE M. JOHNSON AT THE RESCHEDULED STATUS CONFERENCE
OF FEBRUARY 17, 2026 AT 2:00PM
Before the Court is the Motion to Excuse the Appearance of Florence M. Johnson at the
Rescheduled Status Conference of February 17, 2026 at 2:00PM, filed February 10, 2026. (ECF
No. 559.) Johnson, who represents Defendant Emmitt Martin III, asserts that the new date for
the recently rescheduled status conference conflicts with a “longstanding medical procedure that
. . . cannot be postponed.” (Id. at PageID 8506.) She asserts that Curtis D. Johnson, Jr., from the
same firm, “will be present at the hearing and can update the Court as it relates to Martin should
that be required.” (Id.)
The Motion is GRANTED. Before Curtis D. Johnson, Jr., appears on behalf of Martin at
the status conference, however, he must enter a notice of appearance.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 10th day of February, 2026.
