proposed by the Court, then the telephone conference scheduled for April 20, 2022 will be 
unnecessary. 
(5)  Final Scheduling Order:

A Final Scheduling Order will be issued on or before April 27, 2022, confirming the trial

on any defendant who makes an appearance after the Initial Scheduling Order has been filed. 
It will be the responsibility of the party filing a new claim after the date of the Initial 
Scheduling Order to immediately serve a copy of the Initial Scheduling Order on new defendant(s).  
The Pine Bluff and Batesville courthouses have been closed.  Accordingly, cases filed in 
the Pine Bluff and Northern Divisions will be tried in Little Rock before a jury selected from the 
registered voters of the division in which the case was filed.  If the parties wish to try the case 
within a closed division, then the parties must include in their Rule 26(f) report the reason, and 
propose an alternate facility within the closed division where the parties agree to try the case and 
which does not add any expense to the federal judiciary.
