Rush v. Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc.
Supreme Court of Arkansas
1Opinion of the Court
Bradley D. JESSON, Chief Justice.
This appeal arises from the dismissal of appellant Sandra Rush’s products-liability complaint. The trial court dismissed her case with prejudice for her “pattern of intentional, willful and deliberate delay” and for her “failure to narrow her case and ready it for trial.” On appeal, appellant asserts that the trial court erred in allowing her second attorney to withdraw in violation of ARCP Rule 64(b), and in faffing to give her third attorney adequate time to prepare her case for trial. We disagree that the trial court abused its discretion and affirm.
