IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

TEXARKANA DIVISION

SAMANTHA EDWARDS PLAINTIFF

Individually and as Special Administratrix of 

the Estate of William Bobby Wray Edwards (Deceased),

Arleigh Grayce Edwards (Deceased); and Parent 

and Next Friend of Peyton Hale (a Minor) 

vs. Civil No. 4:19-cv-04018

ERIC JAMES CORNELL THOMAS and

MCELROY TRUCK LINES, INC. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Second Motion to Compel Discovery. ECF No. 50. This 

Motion was filed on January 31, 2020. On February 24, 2020, the Honorable Judge Susan O. 

Hickey stayed all discovery in this action related to liability and only authorized “discovery on 

damages during the stay.” ECF No. 72 at 12. 

Upon review of Plaintiff’s Motion, it seeks documents related to liability, not damages. 

Plaintiff has categorized these documents as follows: “MEDICAL RECORDS OBTAINED BY 

DEFENDANT,” “SMART DRIVE SYSTEMS, INC. DOCUMENTATION OF TRIGGERABLE 

EVENTS,” “DOCUMENTATION OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE OF ERIC THOMAS,” 

“TRIGGERING EVENTS RELATED TO DISTRACTED DRIVING,” “SMARTDRIVING 

REPORTS RELATED TO DRIVING PERFORMANCE,” and “PROTECTIVE ORDER 

OBJECTIONS.” 

While the stay Order remains in effect, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s Motion (ECF No. 

50) without prejudice. Plaintiff’s Motion may be re-urged at a later date after this stay is lifted 

if these issues are still contested.
