Attorneys for MSU, Raphael, McCarthy ask for continuance

In documents filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, attorneys for Missouri State University, dance instructor Rhythm McCarthy, and former head of the Department of Theatre and Dance Jay Raphael asked the judge to push back the Sept. 10 date for the trial of the wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by former theater instructor George Cron.
Reasons given for the delay request include "several motions pending including three for summary judgment," and to "allow the court to rule on pending motions" and on new issues which have arisen.
The documents say that Cron and his attorneys did not object to the continuance.
More information about the lawsuit can be found in the Aug. 22 Turner Report.
