IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

JOHN NORVELL, individually and on

behalf of all others similarly situated PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 3:21-cv-00233 KGB

DEDMAN'S SANITATION 

and JIM DEDMAN DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court is the parties’ joint motion to modify scheduling order (Dkt. No. 44). In 

the Court’s Second Amended Final Scheduling Order, the Court set a discovery deadline of 

February 7, 2024, a motions deadline of February 22, 2024, and a bench trial for some time during 

the week of April 22, 2024 (Dkt. Nos. 43; 44, ¶ 3). The parties represent that they are “engaged in 

settlement negotiations and need additional time to explore whether this matter can be resolved.” 

(Dkt. No. 44, ¶ 4). The parties jointly request that the discovery period be extended by 75 days, 

from its existing cut-off date of February 7, 2024, through and including April 22, 2024 (Id., ¶ 7). 

The parties request that all other pretrial deadlines, including the trial date, be extended accordingly 

(Id., ¶ 9). 

For good cause shown, the Court grants the parties’ joint motion to modify scheduling 

order (Id.). The Court suspends pretrial deadlines in the Court’s Second Amended Final 

Scheduling Order and removes the case from the April 22, 2024, trial calendar. The Court will set 

new pretrial deadlines and a new trial date by separate order.

It is so ordered this 8th day of March, 2024.
