The attorneys representing Tyré Nichols’ family and estate want the trial over their civil rights lawsuit against the city of Memphis pushed to late 2026, the Daily Memphian reports. On Friday, the attorneys filed a late-night motion for miscellaneous relief. The filing included a new proposed scheduling order that would move the potential trial date for the case to November 2026. According to the plaintiffs, the proposed change is due to the city releasing reams of evidence near the end of the deadline for them to do so. They claim the documents and videos are not labeled and that a team of 10 staffers has to search through each video and match it to an incident description. U.S. District Judge Sheryl Lipman has been assigned to the case after Judge Mark Norris recused himself. Lipman set a status conference for July 23.
