Case No. 2:11-cv-00592-JCM-CWH
ORDER
12
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application for Examination of
13
Judgment Debtor Witness (#16), filed August 27, 2012. Having secured a judgment in its favor of
14
$2,295,846.18, Plaintiff requests an order requiring Aram Doodikian to appear as a witness to
15
answer questions under oath regarding the assets of Defendant/Judgment Debtor Steven R.
16
Rosenburg.
17
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69, “[i]n aid of judgment or execution, the
18
judgment creditor or a successor in interest whose interest appears of record may obtain discovery
19
from any person–including the judgment debtor–as provided in these rules or by the procedure of
20
the state where the court is located.” Nevada law, in turn, provides:
21
22
A judgment creditor, at any time after the judgment is entered, is entitled to an
order from the court requiring the judgment debtor to appear and answer upon
oath or affirmation concerning his or her property, before:
23
(a) The judge or a master appointed by the judge; or
24
(b) An attorney representing the judgment creditor,
25
26
at a time and place specified in the order. No judgment debtor may be required to
appear outside the county in which the judgment debtor resides.
27
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 21.270(1). In aid of obtaining information about a judgment
28
debtor’s assets “[w]itnesses may be required to appear and testify before the judge or master
conducting any proceeding under this chapter in the same manner as upon the trial of an issue.”
1
See NRS 21.310. The undersigned has reviewed Plaintiff’s request and finds there is good cause
2
for the requested relief. Accordingly,
3

5
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application for Examination of
Judgment Debtor Witness (#16) is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Aram Doodikian appear before the undersigned
6
Magistrate Judge in Courtroom 3C at the Lloyd D. George United States Courthouse, 333 Las
7
Boulevard South, Las Vegas Nevada at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 to then and
8
there answer questions under oath regarding the assets of Defendant/Judgment Debtor Steven R.
9
Rosenburg and for such other proceedings as there may occur consistent with proceedings
10
supplementary to execution.
11
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this order shall be personally served upon the
12
witness at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the hearing scheduled herein. Failure to appear
13
may subject the witness to punishment for contempt of court.
14
DATED this 30th day of August, 2012.
