IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

GLORIA THOMAS,

*

*

Plaintiff, *

*

vs. * No.5:05CV000136 SWW

*

GENERAL MOTORS CORP., *

*

Defendant. *

Order

It has come to the Court’s attention that her spouse owns stock in defendant company. 

Although the Court had no personal knowledge of this at the time of any rulings in this case, it is

the Court’s responsibility to keep track not only of her own investments but those of her family

members. While the Court has a system in place to avoid such conflicts, the system failed here.

Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455 (b)(4), the Court hereby vacates the order and

judgment entered in this matter on April 27, 2006. The Court directs the Clerk to reopen this

case and reassign it.

DATED this 12th day of May 2006.
