Serial: 199114 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI No. 89-R-99001-SCT IN RE: THE RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE ORDER This matter is before the en banc Court on the Court’s own motion. On April 28, 2015, we entered an order amending the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure to add Rule 5.1. The amendment became effective that same date. After due consideration, however, we find that the April 28 order should be vacated and that Rule 5.1 should be suspended until further order from this Court. We further find that Rule 5.1 should be struck from the rules published on the Court’s website and omitted from the next edition of the Mississippi Rules of Court. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the April 28 order adopting Rule 5.1 is vacated, and Rule 5.1 is suspended until further order from this Court. Rule 5.1 shall also be struck from the rules published on the Court’s website and omitted from the next edition of the Mississippi Rules of Court. SO ORDERED, this the 4th day of June, 2015. /s/ William L. Waller, Jr. WILLIAM L. WALLER, JR., CHIEF JUSTICE FOR THE COURT ALL JUSTICES AGREE. LAMAR, J., NOT PARTICIPATING.
