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. 30). In 

the Court’s Amended Final Scheduling Order, the Court set a discovery deadline for August 30, 

2023, and a trial date for November 13, 2023 (Dkt. Nos. 19; 30, ¶ 1). The Court conditionally 

certified a collective action, and, including the named plaintiff, 11 individuals have filed consents 

to join the case (Dkt. No. 30, ¶¶ 2-3). The parties state that they have been working together in 

litigating this case and have been discussing the potential of resolving this case without the need 

for further litigation (Id., ¶ 4). To work towards a resolution, defendants Dedman’s Sanitation and 

Jim Dedman have informally provided the wage documents of the members of the collective (Id., 

¶ 5). The parties seek additional time in which to explore a potential resolution of the case, while 

trying to keep litigation costs to a minimum (Id., ¶ 6). The parties request a three-month extension 

of all unexpired deadlines in the Court’s Amended Final Scheduling Order, including the trial date 

(Id., ¶ 10). For good cause shown, the Court grants the parties’ joint motion to modify scheduling 

order (Dkt. No. 30). The Court suspends all unexpired pretrial deadlines in the Court’s Amended 

Final Scheduling Order and removes the case from the November 13, 2023, trial calendar. The 

Court will set new pretrial deadlines and a new trial date by separate order.
