U.S. District Judge Sheryl Lipman has reset the trial date for a lawsuit stemming from the death of Tyré Nichols. The trial now will begin on Nov. 9, 2026, according to the Daily Memphian. It previously was set to begin on July 13, 2026. Monday’s hearing also marked the first time the attorneys in the lawsuit appeared before Lipman, who assumed control of the case after U.S. District Judge Mark Norris recused himself. Attorneys representing Nichols’ family and estate asked for the delay citing a large amount of evidence provided by the city of Memphis that requires a considerable amount of work to organize.
