IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
CEDRIC L. RAULSTON

v.

PLAINTIFF

No. 4:11-cv-629-DPM

WASTE MANAGEMENT
OF ARKANSAS, INC.

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Raulston's belated demand for a jury trial, Document No. 16, is stricken.
FED. R. CIV. P. 38(b) & (d); see also Document No.1. We have been on track for
a bench trial for almost a year. Waste Management has handled discovery
based on that expectation. And the Court has scheduled the trial on that basis
too. Document Nos. 7-10 & 13. Considering all the material circumstances,

Littlefield v. Fort Dodge Messenger, 614 F.2d 581, 585 (8th Cir. 1980), Raulston
has not provided sufficient reasons for making this change this late in the
case.
So Ordered.
