The Oct. 15 date, which was set Wednesday does not fit in with the schedules of MSU dance instructor Rhythm McCarthy and former Department of Theater and Dance Chairman Jay Raphael.
According to a document filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Raphael "is in a theatrical production that runs through October 14, 2007, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Additionally, he is moving on October 18, 2007; and Rhythm McCarthy is teaching as a guest instructor at Illinois State University the week of October 15, 2007.
The motion for a continuance also says:
Defendant Raphael is available for trial any time after October 20, 2007.
Defendant McCarthy is available for trial (other than the week of October 15 for the reasons discussed above) at any time with the exception of the week of December 3, 2007. Counsel for Defendants is available for trial the weeks of October 29, December 17, 2007, and January 14, 2008. The undersigned counsel has spoken with counsel for Defendant The Board of Governors of Missouri State University. Co-defendant’s counsel is not available for trial the week of November 26, 2007, due to a trial scheduled that week before Judge Fenner.
The Board of Governors also filed a motion for a continuance.

Those excuses seem pretty silly to me. If his show is open what's the big deal? So hire some movers later on. You make a lot of money as a big Department Head, I'd think.
