Marion County Circuit Court Order Following Status Hearing on Petition for Writ of Mandamus — October 9, 2026 (Case No. CC-24-2026-C-45)

Order entered October 9, 2026 by Circuit Judge Patrick N. Wilson in Town of Worthington v. Trudy Cain, Janet Lindsey, and Melvin Lindsey (Case No. CC-24-2026-C-45). Finds that because two individuals agreed to council appointments and Melvin and Janet Lindsey decided to remain in office—with Melvin Lindsey acting as Mayor—the Town could hold meetings with a quorum and the mandamus petition appeared moot, ordering the Town to submit a dismissal order within 10 days without addressing the Lindseys' Morgantown residency.
