DEFENDANTS 

Status reports, Doc. 146 & 148, appreciated. Bond has not 

informed the Court whether he accepts the Court's appointment to 

serve as trustee of the constructive trust recently imposed on Rebecca 

Kingman' s judgment/ settlement proceeds; and his time for doing so 

has passed. 

The Court conditionally appoints Chris Rippy, the Kingmans' 

lawyers' latest unopposed nominee, to serve as trustee with all the 

duties and powers imposed by Arkansas Law on a trustee. ARK. CODE 

ANN.§ 28-73-801 et seq. He will be paid a reasonable hourly rate to be 

set by the Court, in addition to reasonable expenses incurred, from the 

trust's assets. His main responsibilities are to consummate the 

settlement, resolve the various lien on the settlement proceeds, and 

conclude this litigation. Rippy must file his acceptance of 

appointment-with a proposed hourly rate and a $185,000 surety 

bond-as soon as practicable and no later than 28 April 2023.
