declared as to the claims in the complaint against defendant and the empaneled jury is discharged

from further consideration thereof.

If all parties consent to retry this matter in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Court would be able

to accommodate a more expedited trial date. The parties are reminded that the Court may refer this

matter to U.S. Magistrate Judge John F. Forster, Jr. for a settlement conference if both sides consent.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 13th day of July, 2005.
