Gaines lawsuit should get trial date in February Donald Gaines, hired in April 1995, was fired in March 1996 after University Police found a gun and marijuana in his car, parked on campus. He was never charged with a crime. U.S. District Court Judge Clarence Newcomer ordered attorneys last Wednesday to complete discovery -- in which relevant documents and information are exchanged -- by December 28 and scheduled a pretrial conference for February 3 at 11:15 a.m. in his chambers. Gaines and his wife, Joyce, sued the University in May. Newcomer dismissed several charges in the lawsuit one month ago. -- Scott Lanman
