A hearing for arguments on a motion to dismiss Stephanie Stepney’s challenge that Guy Sanders didn’t meet the residency requirements for mayor in time was continued.

The hearing was scheduled for Friday and just hours beforehand both sides agreed to postpone it through their attorneys. According to court records the hearing hasn’t yet been rescheduled. There is a hearing for summary judgement later this week.
