IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION CAT AR CLINIC OF HOT SPRINGS, LLC; STOCKTON MEDICAL GROUP, LTD.; and C.A.T.A.R., LTD. v. PLAINTIFFS/ COUNTER-DEFENDANTS No. 4:17-cv-520-DPM THOMAS F. ROBINSON, M.D.; TIFFANY TERRY; ARKANSAS RECOVERY CLINIC; ARC REHABILITATION CENTER, P.A.; CSCB REHABILITATION MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC; ADDICTION RECOVERY CARE OF LITTLE ROCK; ARC CLINIC; and JILL COGBURN ARC REHABILITATION CENTER, P.A.; THOMAS F. ROBINSON, M.D.; CSCB REHABILITATION MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC; and TIFFANY TERRY CHASE STEPPIG . DEFENDANTS COUNTER-PLAINTIFFS RESPONDENT ORDER CSCB Management Group, LLC's motion to approve the proposed bond, NQ 178, is denied. For the reasons explained by the Catar defendants, NQ 179, many uncertainties would attend the Trust's acting as a surety for CSCB's obligation. The bond is therefore inadequate to ensure compliance with the protective order. For its part, ARC Rehabilitation Center, P.A. has taken no step known to the Court to comply with its bond obligation. CSCB has said twice that it believes ARC will be posting a cash bond. No cash has been deposited with the Clerk. The Court has provided CSCB and ARC ample time to post a bond. Neither has done so. CSCB and ARC must therefore appear before the Court and show cause why they should not be held in contempt of this Court's 16 March 2018 Order, Ng 137 at 10-12, and this Court's 8 May 2018 Order, Ng 173. These entities must appear by and through the personal appearance of two key individuals: Chase Steppig, the co-owner, co-founder, and registered agent of CSCB; and Dr. Thomas F. Robinson, the officer, incorporator, and organizer of ARC. The entities must appear before the Court at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 13 June 2018 in Courtroom lA of the Richard S. Arnold United States Courthouse, 600 West Capitol Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas, 72201.
