UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SYLVIA FITCH,

Plaintiff,

v.

SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL 

DISTRICT,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02769-SI 

ORDER DIRECTING U.S. MARSHAL 

SERVICE TO SERVE CONTEMNOR

ABDUL LATIF AND ORDERING MR. 

LATIF TO APPEAR FOR DEPOSITION 

ON JULY 28, 2016 AT 1:30 PM IN 

COURTROOM 1

In an order filed on June 9, 2016, the Court held non-party Abdul Latif in contempt for his 

failure to obey two subpoenas to appear for deposition. That order also ordered Mr. Latif to 

appear for his deposition on June 29, 2016, and informed Mr. Latif that if he failed to do so he 

would be subject to further sanctions. A copy of the June 9, 2016 order is attached to this order. 

On June 29, 2016, the Court held a status conference in this case. Counsel for plaintiff and 

defendant appeared at the conference. Plaintiff's counsel informed the Court that the process 

server had been unable to serve the June 9, 2016 order on Mr. Latif because the person at the 

address provided for Mr. Latif is avoiding service. As plaintiff has made numerous unsuccessful 

attempts to serve Mr. Latif with the June 9, 2016 order, the Court finds it appropriate to order the 

United States Marshal Service to serve Mr. Latif with a copy of this order as well as the June 9, 

2016 order. The Court finds that one U.S. Marshal shall be sufficient to effectuate service. 

Plaintiff shall pay the U.S. Marshal Service the fees and costs for service, which is $65 per hour

for the Marshal and $.54 per mile for mileage.

Mr. Latif is hereby ORDERED to appear for his deposition on July 28, 2016 at 1:30 

p.m. at Courtroom 1 on the 17th floor, 450 Golden Gate Ave., San Francisco. If Mr. Latif

appears for his deposition, he will "purge" this finding of civil contempt. If Mr. Latif fails to 

appear for his deposition, the Court will hold a hearing on July 28, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. to 

determine what sanctions, including an order into custody and/or monetary sanctions, are 

warranted. The Court informs Mr. Latif that disobedience of a court order is a serious 

matter and that further contumacious conduct will have significant consequences.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 29, 2016
