CHARLEY LARRY,

Plaintiff,

v.

G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03062-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO 

PATRICK POWELL RE: CONTEMPT 

FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR 

PURSUANT TO DEPOSITION 

SUBPOENA

Re: Dkt. No. 53

On December February 16, 2016, Plaintiff personally served non-party Patrick Powell with 

a subpoena to testify for a deposition on March 24, 2016 in the above-captioned civil case. (Dkt. 

Nos. 54 at 11.) Mr. Powell thereafter failed to appear for the noticed deposition. (Id. at 13.) 

Following his non-appearance, Plaintiff filed the now pending Ex Parte Application for an Order 

to Show Cause re: Contempt. (Dkt. Nos. 53.) 

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, Mr. Powell is 

ORDERED TO APPEAR AND SHOW CAUSE in person on June 16, 2016 at 9:00 a.m., in 

Courtroom F, 450 Golden Gate Ave., San Francisco, California 94102, as to why he should not be 

held in contempt for failing to appear for the deposition pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 45(g). Mr. Powell may also file a written response to this Order on or before May 19, 

2016. Mr. Powell can avoid having to appear in person if he contacts Plaintiff’s counsel Richard 

Rogers at 100 Bush Street #1980, San Francisco, CA 94104, tel: 415.981.9798, email:
