Former Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith and his ex-wife Courtney were scheduled to appear in court Friday in Delaware, Ohio for a hearing regarding the domestic violence civil protection order Courtney filed against Zach, but that hearing has been postponed.
Per Delaware County court records, the hearing is now scheduled for 9 a.m. on Sept. 14.
According to ESPN's Dan Murphy, who first reported the postponement on Thursday morning, the hearing was pushed back so that "both sides can conduct an expedited discovery process."
It's uncertain whether the delayed hearing, which is now scheduled for the day before Ohio State plays TCU, will have any impact on the timetable into Ohio State's investigation on head coach Urban Meyer, who was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday as the university investigates whether he was aware of domestic violence allegations made by Courtney against Zach in 2015.
