ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE and
NOTICE OF HEARING

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Order to Show Cause (Doc.
No. 51). For the reasons stated in that motion, it is GRANTED.
IT IS THEREFORE OREDERED that Defendant Debra Antney and both counsel of record
(Patrick Michael Megaro and Jaime T. Halscott)1 shall personally appear before the undersigned
on Thursday, June 30, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. in Courtroom #1-1 of the Charles R. Jonas Federal
Building, 401 West Trade Street, Charlotte, North Carolina, 28202. Ms. Antney, Mr. Megaro, and
Mr. Halscott shall appear to show cause why they should not be held in contempt for failure to
comply with this Court’s June 6, 2016, Order (Doc. No. 48).

1

Because Mr. Halscott has been admitted pro hac vice in this matter, the Court orders that the attorney admitted to
practice in North Carolina, Mr. Megaro, also appear at the hearing. The Court routinely requires local counsel to
appear at all hearings alongside the attorneys admitted pro hac vice, and this case is no exception, particularly in light
of the allegations concerning the failure to comply with the Court’s orders.

IT IS ALSO ORDERED that Defendant and her counsel shall bring to the hearing all
responsive documents and full written responses without objection to Plaintiff’s Discovery
Requests, as ordered in the June 6 Order. Even if Defendant and her counsel comply with the June
6 Order prior to the hearing noticed above, they nonetheless must personally appear before the
undersigned on June 30 to respond to the show cause order.
IT IS ALSO ORDERED that Defendant shall bring to the hearing a certified check made
payable to SeiferFlatow, PLLC, to cover the full amount of any outstanding attorneys’ fees already
awarded in this matter.
Finally, Defendant and her counsel are herby cautioned that failure to comply with this
Order will result in the immediate issuance of a bench warrant from the Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
