UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
KAHAMA VI, LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 8:11-cv-2029-T-30TBM

HJH, LLC, et.al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
THIS CAUSE came before the Court for a hearing on October 30, 2014, on the
Court’s Order to Show Cause. This Court entered an Order of Contempt against John
Bahng (Dkt. #344) which sentenced him to imprisonment for 179 days and directed him to
report to the United States Marshal’s Office on August 20, 2014, to begin serving his
sentence. The Order permitted Mr. Bahng to purge himself of this Court’s contempt by
paying $22,945 in accordance with this Court’s September 18, 2013 Order (Dkt. #139)
(plus interest accruing at the federal statutory rate from the date of this Order), before
August 20, 2014, or, once he is imprisoned, at any time thereafter before he completes his
sentence. The Order also warned Mr. Bahng that if he failed to report to the United States
Marshal’s Office on August 20, 2014, or purge himself of contempt, this Court would issue
an arrest warrant directing his arrest by the United States Marshal. Mr. Bahng did not
report to the United States Marshal’s Office on August 20, 2014 nor did he purge himself
of contempt.

The Court entered an Order directing Mr. Bahng to appear and show cause why the
Court should not hold him in contempt and scheduled a hearing for October 30, 2014, at
9:00 a.m. (Dkt. # 390). Mr. Bahng failed to appear at the hearing. Therefore, the Court will
grant Plaintiff’s request to sanction Mr. Bahng and issue an arrest warrant pursuant to the
Order of Contempt (Dkt. #344).
Accordingly, it is therefore ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1.

The Clerk of Court is directed to issue a warrant of arrest directing the arrest
of John Bahng by the United States Marshal.

DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, this 3rd day of November, 2014.
