Tenn. Judge Sets March 4 Scheduling Conference in Landowner’s Suit vs. Crown Castle

U.S. District Judge Jon Phipps McCalla for Western Tennessee in Memphis set a Rule 16(b) telephone scheduling conference for March 4 at 9:30 a.m. CST in the case brought by landowner James Gragg against Crown Castle, said a clerk’s hearing notice Tuesday (docket 2:24-cv-02087). Gragg leased four acres of his farmland in Rosemark, Tennessee, to Crown Castle to build a cell tower, but he alleges that with the lease’s April 2022 expiration, Crown Castle “now refuses to surrender the premises and remove its structures” (see 2402090061).
