ORDER

TRANSFERRING THE

CASE TO THE

UNITED STATES

DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN

DISTRICT OF

ARKANSAS

In the Court’s July 28, 2008 Order, the Court concluded “that

API/APF’S Arkansas suit has priority for purposes of the first to

file rule. Therefore, the Court defers to the Eastern District of

Arkansas to decide the appropriate forum and whether an exception

to the first-to file rule is applicable.” The Court also noted

that “[i]f the Arkansas court denies GIL’s motion to transfer, the

parties shall notify the Court. The case will be transferred to

the Eastern District of Arkansas and API/APF may raise their

standing arguments in that court.” 

On September 4, 2008, the United States District Court for the

Eastern District of Arkansas ruled and denied, in its entirety,

GIL’s motion to dismiss or in the alternative to transfer or stay

plaintiffs’ substituted complaint.

Therefore, the Court orders the instant case transferred to

the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

Arkansas. The Court also vacates the case management conference

set for October 7, 2008. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
