UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Petitioner,

Case No. 3:16-cv-410

vs.
DERRICK STRAHORN,

Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman

Respondent.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
This civil case came before the Court for a status hearing in Court on March 2, 2017.
Assistant United States Attorney Kevin Koller participated on behalf of the Government.
Respondent Derrick Strahorn participated pro se. The Court advised Mr. Strahorn of his right to
counsel, which Respondent understood and represented to the Court that he wished to proceed on
his own behalf.
Respondent represented to the Court that he produced all documents that he, in good
faith, believed the Government requested -- albeit only minutes in advance of the hearing. The
Government, having briefly reviewed the documents produced, represented to the Court that
Respondent did not fully comply. In response, Respondent contends that the Government has
changed their demands since the last Court hearing. The Court makes no finding at this time
with regard to Respondent’s compliance or non-compliance.
Instead, without objection, the Court ordered that the parties meet and confer in open
court immediately following the Court’s recess regarding the specific information and
documents the Government requires. After meeting and conferring, Respondent is ORDERED

to respond, in full, to the Government’s demands for documents. After producing documents
demanded by the Government, Respondent is ORDERED, in the absence of specific objections,
by Respondent (such as Respondent’s rights against self-incrimination, if applicable), to fully
cooperate and respond to follow-up questions by the Government, whether in person, by
telephone, or via email.
This case is set for a follow-up status hearing on March 22, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. in
Courtroom #4. Counsel for the Government and Respondent (pro se or with counsel, if he so
chooses) shall participate.

Respondent is ADVISED that his failure to fully comply as

ORDERED herein may result in a finding of contempt and the loss of liberty, i.e., a jail
sentence.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date:

March 2, 2017
