IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

 EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

 CENTRAL DIVISION 

KATHLEEN TORRENCE PLAINTIFF 

VS. NO. 4:19CV00354 JM 

AUTOMOBILE CLUB INTER-INSURANCE 

EXCHANGE DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

On December 19, 2019, Chief Judge D. Price Marshall entered an order granting the 

defendant’s motion to dismiss in Moffitt, et al. v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance 

Company, Case No. 1:19CV0072. On January 6, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. 

The Moffitt case is substantially similar to eight other cases in this district. If affirmed, the 

dismissal of Moffitt would be dispositive of each of these cases. 

To maximize the Court’s resources, the Court finds that this and the eight other related 

cases should be stayed and administratively terminated pending the mandate of the Eighth 

Circuit Court of Appeals in Moffitt v. State Farm. 

The Clerk of the Court is directed to administratively terminate the action without 

prejudice to the rights of the parties to reopen the proceedings for the entry of any stipulation, 

order, or other purpose required to obtain a final determination of the litigation. However, if the 

parties fail to file a motion to reopen the case within the 60-day period after final disposition of 

the appeal in Moffitt, this Order will be deemed a dismissal with prejudice of all claims. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 30th day of January, 2020.
