Civil No. 3:13-0048
Judge Trauger
Magistrate Judge Knowles

ORDER
The Magistrate Judge has filed a Certification of Facts Regarding Possible Contempt
(Docket No. 40) that is based on the failure of the defendant to fully answer some post-default
judgment interrogatories. It is hereby ORDERED that, by September 30, 2013, the plaintiff
shall edify this court as to the exact relief the plaintiff will be requesting, should this court hold
the defendant in civil contempt. This non-compliance with a discovery order is ordinarily
handled by the Magistrate Judge as a sanction matter, pursuant to Rule 37(b), FED. R. CIV. P.,
and 28 U.S.C. § 636(e)(4). Certainly the Magistrate Judge may award the plaintiff its attorney’s
fees and costs, order the defendant to appear in his courtroom for the taking of a post-judgment
deposition, or order other creative relief in a situation of this sort.
It is so ORDERED.
ENTER this 23rd day of September 2013.
