ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Defendant Michael Kratville’s (“Kratville”) Motion
for Show Cause Hearing and Application for Contempt. (Filing 118.) Kratville contends
that Defendant Michael Welke (“Welke”) was served with a valid subpoena for production
of documents on April 16, 2013, but has not provided any of the requested documents.
Kratville seeks an order compelling Welke to appear before the Court at a hearing to show
cause why he should not be held in contempt for failing to obey the subpoena and compelling
Welke to appear for a deposition to provide all responsive documents. Having considered
the matter,
IT IS ORDERED that by or before August 9, 2013, Defendant Michael Welke shall
submit a report to the Court showing cause as to why he should not be held in contempt for
failing to comply with the subpoena served upon him on April 16, 2013. Welke shall further
show cause as to why he should not be compelled to appear for a deposition to provide all
responsive documents.
DATED July 9, 2013.
