The lawyer representing Lindsey Miller, the stepfather of former Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, requested a 120-day extension to serve process on Tunsil.
In a report by The Clarion-Ledger, Matt Wilson, the attorney for Miller in the lawsuit, filed a motion Friday in Lafayette County Circuit Court requesting that judge John Luther Kelly allow the extension. As the situation stands, Wilson has until Aug. 24 to deliver a copy of the lawsuit to Tunsil. Wilson filed the lawsuit on April 26.
Here’s how The Clarion-Ledger summarizes the situation:
Wilson would have until Dec. 22 to serve process if the extension is granted. He also wrote in the motion that he would accept an extension “for what other period” is deemed appropriate.
The lawsuit alleges assault and battery, defamation of character and an intentional infliction of emotional distress following an incident last summer between Tunsil and Miller.
This is a messy situation, so it will be interesting to see how everything turns out. Tunsil, now with the Dolphins, has had a wild offseason to say the least.
