   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3766
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - Rule 41(b) dismissals. After district court 
   rescheduled trial, denied plaintiff's motion for continuance of retrial 
   date, and denied motion for reconsideration, the district court dismissed 
   the case with prejudice for failure to prosecute the appeal on the trial 
   date. District court abused its discretion in denying the continuance and 
   erred in dismissing the case with prejudice. The dismissal with prejudice 
   is reversed and the case remanded.
