ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
SUMMONS SHOULD NOT BE
ENFORCED
Upon consideration of the United States’ Petition to Enforce Internal Revenue
18
19
Summons and the Declaration in support thereof, the Court finds that the United States
20
has established a prima facie case under United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48 (1964) for
21
enforcement of the Internal Revenue Service summons at issue.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Sellam Ismail, appear
22
23
September
13
before the undersigned United States District Judge, on the ____ day of _____________,
24
10:00
2013, at _____ a.m./p.m., in Courtroom No. 1, 17th Floor, United States District Court,
25
450 Golden Gate Avenue, California, and then and there show cause, if any, why
26
Respondent should not be compelled to appear and provide documents and testimony as
27
required by the summons.
28
//

It is further ORDERED that:
2
1. A copy of this Order, together with the Petition to Enforce Internal Revenue
3
Service Summons and supporting papers, shall be served upon Respondent in accordance
4
with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure at least thirty-five days before the
5
date set for the show-cause hearing;

2. Since the Petition to Enforce Internal Revenue Summons and supporting papers
make a prima facie showing that the IRS investigation is being conducted for a legitimate
purpose, that the inquiry may be relevant to that purpose, that the information sought is
not already within the Commissioner’s possession, and that the administrative steps
required by the Internal Revenue Code have been followed, see United States v. Powell,
379 U.S. 48 (1964), the burden has shifted to Respondent to oppose enforcement of the
summons;
13
14
3. If Respondent has any defense to present or opposition to the Petition, such
15
defense or opposition shall be made in writing, filed with the Clerk and served on counsel
16
for the United States, at least 21 days prior to the date set for the show-cause hearing.
17
The United States may file a reply memorandum to any opposition at least 14 days prior
18
to the date set for the show-cause hearing.
19
4. At the show-cause hearing, the Court will consider all issues raised by Respondent.
20
Only those issues brought into controversy by the responsive pleadings and supported by
21
an affidavit or declaration will be considered. Any uncontested allegation in the Petition
22
will be considered admitted.
