PLAINTIFF

3:16-cv-329-DPM

ROACH MANUFACTURING CORPORATION

DEFENDANT

ORDER
In the 1990s, I worked on some matters for Roach Manufacturing with
David Cahoon when we practiced law together in Jonesboro.

I don't

remember any details about the work. I do remember going to the plant in
Trumann at some point, meeting Charlie and Margaret Parks, and talking
with them on the telephone. David Cahoon left our law firm in 1997, and I
think this client went with him. Much time has passed since I represented the
company; the work had no connection to this dispute; and my role was a
supporting one. I'm therefore inclined to stay on this case. I don't think my
impartiality could reasonably be questioned. But I wanted to put the facts, as
I remember them, of record. And I will be glad to reconsider at the request

of either party.
So Ordered.
