Judge: Latest Bielema filing too long

FAYETTEVILLE — Judge P.K. Holmes III, the presiding judge in former Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema’s $7 million lawsuit against the Razorback Foundation, rejected on Friday the latest filing in the case because it wasn’t brief enough.

The 34-page response to the foundation's motion to dismiss the lawsuit was filed Wednesday by Tom Mars, the lead attorney for Bielema.

“The response brief exceeds the limit of 25 substantive pages set out in the … initial scheduling order without leave of Court, and will not be considered as filed,” Holmes wrote into the record.

Holmes also wrote an amended response may be filed by Aug.
