ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Stellar Exteriors of Minnesota, Inc., and Scott

Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Order to Show Cause to
hold Defendants in civil contempt (Doc. No. 24). In their Motion, Plaintiffs aver that
Defendants Stellar Exteriors of Minnesota (“Stellar”) and Scott Pederson, Stellar’s
owner, have failed to comply with the Court’s August 1, 2012 Order for Entry of Default
(Doc. No. 22), which required Defendants to produce fringe fund reports for the months
of July 2011 through May 2012 and to produce records for audit for the period of April
2011 through the present. Based on the foregoing, and all the files, records, and
proceedings herein, IT IS ORDERED:
1.

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Order to Show Cause (Doc. No. 24) is GRANTED;

2.

Defendants Stellar Exteriors of Minnesota, Inc., through its owner Scott

Pederson, and Scott Pederson individually are ORDERED to personally appear before

the Court on October 2, 2012, at 8:00 a.m., in Courtroom 7A, Warren E. Burger Federal
Building and United States Courthouse, 316 North Robert Street, St. Paul, Minnesota and
SHOW CAUSE, if any, why they should not be adjudged in contempt of the Court’s
August 1, 2012 Order. Pederson is warned that his failure to respond to this Order to
Show Cause or to comply with the Court’s August 1, 2012 Order may result in the
issuance of a warrant for his arrest and his incarceration until such compliance; and
3.

Plaintiffs shall personally serve Pederson with a copy of this Order to Show

Cause and thereafter file proof of the same with the Court.

Dated: August 23, 2012
