UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLEY LARRY,

Plaintiff,

v.

G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03062-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO 

NOUETA SEIULI RE: CONTEMPT 

FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR 

PURSUANT TO DEPOSITION 

SUBPOENA

On October 27, 2015, Plaintiff personally served non-party Noueta Seiuli with a subpoena 

to testify for a deposition on November 12, 2015 in the above-captioned civil case. (Dkt. Nos. 25-

1 at 4, 8.) Ms. Seiuli thereafter failed to appear for the noticed deposition. (Dkt. No. 25-1 at 11.) 

Following Ms. Seiuli’s non-appearance, Plaintiff filed the now pending Ex Parte Application for 

an Order to Show Cause re: Contempt. (Dkt. Nos. 25.) The Court issued an Order directing any 

opposition to the ex parte application to be filed by December 28, 2015 and directing Plaintiff to 

serve the Court’s Order on Ms. Seiuli. (Dkt. No. 26.) Although the process server made eight 

attempts to serve Ms. Seiuli with the Court’s Order at the same address that the deposition 

subpoena had previously been served, the process server was unable to do so. (Dkt. No. 30 ¶ 3.) 

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(g), a party may seek an order to show cause as 

to why a contempt citation should not issue if a person “fails without adequate excuse to object to 

the subpoena or an order related to it.” A contempt citation shall issue if a person “fails without 

adequate excuse” to respond. See Fed. Rule Civ. P. 45(g). Accordingly, the court issued an Order 

to show cause requiring Ms. Seiuli to appear and show cause on March 4, 2016 as to why she 

should not be held in contempt. (Dkt. No. 42.) Ms. Seiuli failed to appear as ordered.
