IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

WILLIAM R. DOWNING, JR. 

v. No. 4:15-cv-570-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND 

ADMINISTRATION, an Agency of the 

State of Arkansas; BOB HAUGEN and 

DAVID JUSTICE, Both in their 

Individual and Official Capacities DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

The Court can't keep the trial date. Because of unexpected 

developments, the Court needs our setting for a criminal trial, which must 

take priority. Plus, the Court needs more time to sort through the summary 

judgment papers. The Amended Final Scheduling Order, NQ 30, is suspended 

and the March 7th trial is canceled. The motion to strike, NQ 69, is denied 

without prejudice. Downing should respond to the belated summary 

judgment motion, NQ 64, on both procedural and merits grounds, by 3 March 

2017. The continuance provides breathing room to do so.
