IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

DONOVAN FORD, CARRIE GALAN,

JAMES GILMER, JUDY MILLS, and

BILLIE J. NORRIS, and SHEILA ARNOLD

on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated PLAINTIFFS

v. Case No. 4:08CV00509-BSM 

TOWNENDS OF ARKANSAS, INC.,

and TOWNSENDS, INC. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Defendant Townsends, Inc. moves to dismiss the claims of Sheila Arnold and a

putative class of persons in North Carolina (Doc. No. 108), arguing that this court lacks

personal jurisdiction. In response (Doc. No. 119), Arnold agrees to dismiss her claims

without prejudice. Townsends’s motion to dismiss (Doc. No. 108) is therefore granted

and the claims of Arnold and the putative class of persons in North Carolina are

dismissed without prejudice.

The motion to dismiss Arnold’s claims for failing to join an indispensable party

(Doc. No. 106) is denied as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 21st day of January, 2010
