ORDER
On February 28, 2014, Applicant National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) filed
a motion and supplemental brief to enforce subpoena directed at Respondent Justin
Chambers [Doc. #1 and #2]. On March 24, 2014, I entered an order directing Mr.
Chambers “to show cause in writing, on or before APRIL 7, 2014, why this Court should
not grant the NLRB’s motion. Mr. Chambers’ failure to respond in writing will result in
an order granting the NLRB’s motion.” [Doc. #5].
To date, Mr. Chambers has not responded to either the NLRB’s motions or my
order to show cause.
Therefore, pursuant to § 11(2) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. §
151 et seq., the NLRB’s motion to enforce subpoena [Doc. #1] is GRANTED.
Respondent Justin Chambers shall appear before a Board agent in Case 7-CA-114356, at
such time and place as the Regional Director may designate, to give signed sworn
affidavit testimony pursuant to the investigative subpoena ad testificandum (No. A974880) served upon him by regular and certified mail on or about December 23, 2013,
-1-

and to answer any and all questions relevant to the matters in question before the Board.
Applicant NLRB shall serve a copy of this order on Respondent Justin Chambers
by regular and certified mail, at the address to which the subpoena was mailed.
Mr. Chambers’ failure to appear as directed may subject him to sanctions for
contempt of court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
