IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
PLAINTIFF

ANDREW MOSS

v.

No. 3:15-cv-200-DPM
DEFENDANT

GENERAL MOTORS LLC
ORDER

GM moves unopposed to reschedule the trial. This older case needs a
trial; and the Court set the October 2017 date in the face of conflicting
obligations, thinking that either of GM' s lawyers could take the lead at trial.
The motion papers make plain, though, that Mr. Tuttle's role has been limited,
Mr. Hanson has been in the lead, and GM expects and wants Mr. Hanson to
try this case. All this creates good cause for a new trial date. The Court has
first-out settings available in Jonesboro on 5 March 2018 and 9 July 2018.
Counsel must file a notice of any unavoidable conflicts by 10 May 2017.
While this delay in trial is regrettable, it's the best the Court can do in
balancing all the variables. Motion, NQ 41, granted. A Second Amended Final
Scheduling Order will issue after the Court hears about counsel's availability.

So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
