UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 1:17-cv-00498-BLW
MEMORANDUM DECISION &
ORDER

v.
CHERIE R. DILLON and DENTAL
HEALTHCARE WITH HEART, P.C.,
(successor in interest to DENTAL
HEALTHCARE WITH HEART,
PLLC),
Defendants.

INTRODUCTION
Before the Court is Defendant Cherie Dillon’s Motion to Terminate Sow
Cause Proceedings (Dkt. 103). For the reasons explained below, the Court will
deny the motion. The show-cause hearing will proceed as scheduled, on March
25, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. at the United States Courthouse in Boise, Idaho.
DISCUSSION
The Court has ordered defendant Cherie Dillion and her spouse, Kenneth
Dillon, to appear before this Court on March 25, 2024 and show cause as to why
they should not be held in contempt for failing to fully comply with subpoenas
issued to them in this matter. This hearing has been continued several times, and in

ORDER - 1

January 2024, Ms. Dillon moved the Court to terminate the hearing. The Court has
carefully considered each of the arguments advanced in the motion, see Motion,
Dkt. 103, ¶¶ 2-8, but it finds these arguments unavailing for the reasons set forth in
the government’s point-by-point response. See Response, Dkt. 104, Dkt., at 6-11.
In short, the Court is not persuaded that the Dillons have fully complied with the
subpoenas. For that reason, the hearing will proceed as scheduled.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Cherie Dillon’s Motion to Terminate
Show-Cause Proceedings (Dkt. 103) is DENIED.
DATED: March 19, 2024
