22nd Circuit Court: Nelson Subs for Wheeler

Retired judge Charles Nelson will be serving as a full-time visiting judge to absorb the docket of judge Nancy Wheeler on the 22nd circuit court of Washtenaw County, while she is away from the bench for medical reasons. Nelson’s service will start on Oct. 7, 2013 and last one to three months, according to an email sent to court personnel and others by court administrator Dan Dwyer.

Dwyer’s email states that “There are no planned changes to Judge Wheeler’s overall docket schedule while she is away and we anticipate minimal disruptions to these cases.”

A similar arrangement – with Nelson filling in for Wheeler – was announced about 20 months ago on Jan. 20, 2012.
