IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
CENTENNIAL BANK,
Guardian of the Estate of
Mary Moore Stiny

PLAINTIFF

No. 3:17-cv-226-DPM

v.

DEFENDANT

RENA WOOD
IN THE MATTER OF THE
GUARDIANSHIP OF MARY MOORE
STINY, an incapacitated person
No. 3:17-cv-227-DPM
ORDER

The Court consolidated these cases after removal, directing that
all future filings would be in the lead case, No. 3:17-cv-226-DPM.
NQ 20.

The Court recently filed its Judgment on Centennial Bank's

second amended complaint.

This Judgment resolved the issues

originally in No. 3:17-cv-226-DPM, subject to the Court's continuing
jurisdiction on trust administration and collateral issues, but not the
issues in No. 3:17-cv-227-DPM, which concern the guardianship of Mrs.
Stiny' s estate and the guardianship of her person. The Clerk filed the
Judgment in both cases pursuant to standard practice.

Though

consolidated, the cases remain separate, at least for purposes of

entering judgment and appellate rights. Hall v. Hall, 138 S. Ct. 1118,
1130-31 (2018). The Court therefore vacates the Judgment, NQ 43, in
case No. 3:17-cv-227-DPM. The Judgment, NQ 295, in case No. 3:17-cv226-DPM, remains in place.
So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.
