S & M Trust Co. v. Valley Lumber Co‪.‬

Meyer brought a malpractice action in the Superior Court of Pima County against Smitherman in two counts. The first count alleged negligence by Smitherman in failing to appeal from the order of dismissal of the action against the Grand International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The second count alleged that after removal of the action to the United States District Court, Smitherman was negligent in failing to request a jury trial and in agreeing to postpone the trial indefinitely.
