ORDER
The United States Magistrate Judge entered his Certification of Contempt, ECF No. 24,
related to Plaintiff’s Motion for an Order to Show Cause Why Kevin J. Calvin Should Not Be
Held in Civil Contempt for Violating This Court’s Permanent Injunction, ECF No. 14.
No objections were filed. The Magistrate Judge recommends, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(e)(6),
that this Court conduct a hearing once Defendant Kevin J. Calvin (“Defendant”) is arrested, or at
such other time as set, to hear evidence as to why Defendant should not be found in contempt of
court for failing to comply with the permanent injunction contained in the Court’s Final Judgment,
ECF No. 13, and the Show Cause Orders, ECF No. 16 & 19, previously entered by the Court. The
Court reviewed the proposed Certification of Contempt for plain error. Finding none, the Court
ACCEPTS the Certification of Contempt of the United States Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that: 1) Defendant is to surrender to the custody of
the United States Marshal Service. If he does not, the United States Marshal Service or any
duly authorized law enforcement officer is ORDERED to arrest Defendant and produce him
before the

1

undersigned; and 2) Defendant is to appear at a hearing thereafter for the Court to hear evidence
as to why he should not be found in contempt of court.
SO ORDERED this 7th day of February, 2020.
