IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

NORTHERN DIVISION 

JAMES KINGMAN and 

REBECCA KINGMAN PLAINTIFFS 

v. No. 3:18-cv-155-DPM 

CHARLI JOSEPH and 

TRANSNET FREIGHT LTD. 

ORDER 

DEFENDANTS 

1. The Court appreciates the recent joint status report, Doc. 132. 

At the 17 May 2022 hearing, through counsel the Kingmans moved 

orally to enforce the Court's Amended Judgment and the parties' 

settlement. Joseph and Transnet joined in this motion, agreeing that the 

deal was made and needed to be consummated. For the reasons 

stated from the bench, the Court granted the motion. Doc. 125. Since 

then, Rebecca Kingman has avoided contact with her family's lawyers 

and refused mail service of this Court's Order. The settlement has not 

been consummated. 

2. The Court again orders Rebecca Kingman to sign the Release 

and Settlement Agreement and endorse the tendered check promptly. 

If she does not do so, Mrs. Kingman must appear on 19 December 2022 

at 1:30 p.m. in courtroom 324 at the Gathings Federal Building in 

Case 3:18-cv-00155-DPM Document 133 Filed 10/25/22 Page 1 of 3
Jonesboro, Arkansas. At the hearing, she will have to show cause why 

she should not be held in contempt for not complying with this Order. 

3. Mrs. Kingman's lawyers must deliver a copy of this Order, 

the Amended Judgment, Doc. 126, the Settlement and Release, and the 

check to the U.S. Marshal by 2 November 2022. They should also 

provide the Marshals with all of Mrs. Kingman' s contact information. 

4. The Court directs the U.S. Marshals Service to serve a copy 

of this Order, the Amended Judgment, Doc. 126, the Settlement and 

Release, and the check on Rebecca Kingman. To ensure that Mrs. 

Kingman is given notice, the Marshal must serve these papers by 

personal service (not by mail) as soon as practicable and no later than 

23 November 2022. And the Marshal must file proof of service. The 

Court orders this extraordinary step to ensure Mrs. Kingman has notice 

about this Order, her obligation to consummate the settlement, the 

19 December 2022 hearing, and her obligation to attend that hearing if 

she refuses to comply with this Order. 

5. Given the tangles presented by finalizing the settlement, and 

the need for more time to enforce it, the Court extends its jurisdiction 

to enforce the parties' settlement from 18 November 2022, Doc. 126, to 

27 January 2023.
