IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

CHARLES R. SMITH PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 3:18-cv-00058 KGB

BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is parties’ joint motion for trial continuance and extension of deadlines in 

initial scheduling order (Dkt. No. 9). The parties request that the trial date be continued because 

counsel for plaintiff Charles R. Smith has a conflict with the proposed trial date and would not be 

available at that time for trial (Id., ¶ 3). This case is set for trial the week of April 15, 2019. The 

parties represent that they have been in communication and cooperating toward the purpose of 

coming to an agreement for a new trial date and are requesting that trial be continued until August 

2019 (Id., ¶ 5). The parties also request that corresponding deadlines both in the initial scheduling 

order and those based off the proposed trial date be continued accordingly as well (Id.). For good 

cause shown, the Court grants the parties’ motion (Dkt. No. 9). This matter will be removed from 

this Court’s trial calendar for the week of April 15, 2019. The Court will issue a Final Scheduling 

Order with the new trial date by separate order.

So ordered this 9th day of July, 2018.
