IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
SAMANTHA PRINCE

v.

PLAINTIFF
No. 4:14-cv-31-DPM

SOUTHERN SNOW MANUFACTURING
CO., INC.

DEFENDANT

ORDER
1. Prince's unopposed motion to compel, Ng 53, is granted. Southern

Snow must provide supplemental responses that completely and fully
respond to all of Prince's post-judgment discovery requests by 3 March 2017.
The initial responses are a good start;

but they don't provide all the

information Prince is entitled to and there's a stall or two. It's too late for
Southern Snow to object-its time to do so has passed.
2. The Court seals Ng 53-2 because it contains confidential information.

3. The Court awards Prince a reasonable attorney's fee of $250.00 as a
sanction against Southern Snow for Prince having to seek the Court's aid in
getting information about assets.
4. Counsel for Southern Snow has informally advised the Court that he

and his client have a dispute and have parted ways. First, the planned motion
to withdraw should be a motion to substitute, filed by Mr. Andrews and

proposed new counsel. Southern Snow can't go umepresented; so the
transition must be seamless. Second, the March 3rd deadline is firm. Mr.
Andrews remains counsel of record until further order; and he must inform
Southern Snow (and any proposed new counsel) of this Order ASAP. Third,
the Court discourages any more email to chambers on substantive matters.
All such communications should be in a filing of record.
So Ordered.
