Upon the petition of Phillip A. Talbert, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of

22
1. Respondent, Virginia M. Else shall appear before United States Magistrate Judge Kendall J.
23
Newman, at the United States Courthouse, 501 I Street, Sacramento, California, Courtroom 25,
24
on Thursday, July 27, 2017, to show cause why Respondent should not be compelled to obey
25

federal employees designated by that employee, to serve process in this case.

3. To afford the respondent an opportunity to respond to the petition and the petitioner an
1
2
opportunity to reply, a copy of this order, the Petition and its Exhibits, and the Points and
3
Authorities, shall be served by delivering a copy to the respondent personally, or by leaving a
4
copy at the respondent’s dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable age
5
and discretion then residing therein, or by any other means of service permitted by Fed. R. Civ.
6
P. 4(e), at least 30 days before the show cause hearing date including any continued date, unless
7
such service cannot be made despite reasonable efforts.
4. Proof of any service done under paragraph 3, above, shall be filed with the Clerk on or before
8
June 27, 2017.
9
5. If the federal employee assigned to serve these documents is not reasonably able to serve the
10
11
papers as provided in paragraph 3, petitioner may request a court order granting leave to serve by
12
other means. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 81(a)(5). The request shall detail the efforts made to serve the
13
respondent.
6. The file reflects a prima facie showing that the investigation is conducted pursuant to a
14
15
legitimate purpose, that the inquiry may be relevant to that purpose, that the information sought
16
is not already within the Commissioner’s possession, and that the administrative steps required
17
by the Code have been followed. See United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48, 57-58 (1964). The
18
burden of coming forward therefore has shifted to whoever might oppose enforcement.
19
7. Respondent shall file and serve any defense or opposition to the Petition to Enforce the IRS
20
Summons at least ten (10) days before the show cause hearing date including any continued date.
21
8. At the show cause hearing, the Magistrate Judge intends to consider the issues properly raised in
22
opposition to enforcement. Only those issues brought into controversy by the responsive
23
pleadings and supported by affidavit will be considered. Any uncontested allegation in the
24
petition will be considered admitted.

9. If Respondent has no objections to enforcement of the summons, she may file and serve a
2
statement of non-opposition to the Petition at least ten (10) days prior to the show cause hearing
3
date including any continued date. Respondent’s appearance at the hearing will then be excused.
4 IT IS SO ORDERED.
