ORDER
SUSAN WEBBER WRIGHT, District Judge.
The Court informs the parties that this action must be continued from its current trial setting of May 7, 2012, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, as this Judge has been assigned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to serve on a three-judge panel in a Voting Rights Act case, Jeffers, et al., v. Beebe, et al., No. 2:12cv00016, that will be tried during the week of May 7, 2012, in Helena, Arkansas. This Voting Rights Act case takes precedence over normal civil cases.
The Court notes that this action was filed on March 27, 2008, and has been continued several times.1 Because it will be some time before the Jonesboro courtroom will be available to this Court, and given that this Court can schedule a trial in Little Rock, Arkansas sooner than in Jonesboro, the Court advises the parties that it is inclined to move this action to Little Rock for trial. The Court will give the parties to and including April 16, 2012, in which to advise this Court why this action should not be moved to Little Rock for trial.
